Why Choose Natural Cleaners?

We know how hard it is to fight algae in aquariums. Keeping the water clear seems like a never-ending job. But, we've found a natural way to help – the Algae Eating Package. These small creatures are changing the game for a clean, algae-free tank.

At Micro Aquatic Shop, we're excited to share these shrimp with you. They come from northern Queensland and are great at eating many types of algae. You won't need harsh chemicals or spend hours cleaning your tank.

Combats Problematic Algae:

  • Green Algae: Spreads fast and covers surfaces.
  • Brown Algae: Slimy films that look unsightly.
  • Red Algae: Brush-like strands tough to remove manually.

Optimal Water Parameters

Shrimp are sensitive to water quality. Maintain these levels for health:

  • Temperature 20-26°C
  • pH Level 6.5 - 8.0
  • Hardness 4-8 dGH
  • Ammonia/Nitrite 0 ppm

Diet & Feeding

While they eat algae, supplementary food ensures a balanced diet:


Specialized Food

High-quality algae wafers or sinking shrimp pellets.


Vegetables

Blanched zucchini, spinach, or lettuce.

Create the Perfect Environment

  • Plants: Use Java moss or Anubias for grazing and hiding.
  • Decor: Add rocks and driftwood to mimic their natural habitat.
  • Flow: Ensure oxygenation with gentle currents.
  • Lighting: Keep lighting dim or moderate; they prefer shadows.
