sera guide - Shrimps and crayfish

8 Biotope aquariums An aquarium with shrimps and crayfish is ideally set up according to their natural habitat – brooks and small rivers. Everything is in the cor- rect ratio for the corresponding biotope, e.g. aquarium size, number and size of animals, number of plants, plant species, filter and light. This avoids combining animals that do not harmonize due to their size, nutritional requirements and ori- gin. A natural biotope allows to optimally adjust water quality and maintain it permanently without much care effort. sera gives you the following biotope suggestions: A typical shrimp biotope It is ideal to keep only one to three shrimp species in a 60 liter (15.8 US gal.) aquarium such as the sera Biotop Nano Cube 60. African Giant Fan shrimps and Asian Fan shrimps (please add just one of the two species) are suitable for keeping them together with dwarf shrimps. Add five to, at the maximum, twenty animals in total. However, keep the number of larger ani- mals such as African Giant Fan shrimps low.
