Striped Shrimp: Your Versatile Australian Aquatic Cleaner

Add the fascinating Striped Shrimp to your aquatic setup! These small, translucent crustaceans offer unique beauty and diligent cleaning, adapting well to a variety of environments.

Overview
The Striped Shrimp (*Palaemon intermedius*) is a charming and active crustacean reaching up to 4 cm. Its translucent body is adorned with subtle red spots and narrow stripes, providing natural camouflage and an understated elegance. These industrious invertebrates are often found foraging among substrate and vegetation, showcasing an engaging natural behavior as they explore their environment.

Care Level
Considered easy to care for, the Striped Shrimp is a robust and peaceful addition to many aquariums. They exhibit a docile temperament, making them compatible with similarly peaceful fish and other invertebrates. Avoid housing them with aggressive species that may view them as prey.

Tank Essentials
A minimum tank size of 20-30 litres is recommended for a small group of these active shrimp. As they are found in temperate waters, maintain a temperature range of 18-25°C. Their adaptability to marine, brackish, and freshwater environments allows for a wide pH tolerance, ideally between 7.0-8.2.

Diet
Primarily detritivores, Striped Shrimp thrive on a diet of organic matter. Supplement their natural scavenging with high-quality sinking pellets, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein-rich foods to ensure optimal health.
