Refuge to ease stress
and avoid predation
Provides protection
after molting
Seclusion aid during
the breeding cycle
Provides additional
surface area for growth of algae and/or biofilm as
a natural food source
Small shrimp, fish, and other animals naturally seek
out seclusion from time to time to ease stress and avoid predation. Small
shrimp, in particular, are vulnerable when they shed their exoskeleton, and
female shrimp carrying eggs often seek out dark areas to protect themselves and
their eggs. Without refuge, it is common for females to abandon their eggs.
aquavitroŽ shrimp enrichment accessories are ideal for providing this type of
refuge. In addition, they can act as a substrate for fine algae and/or bio-film
to develop which are considered important food sources for many small shrimp.
