Quick Answers

What plants are best for baby shrimp?
Java Moss, Christmas Moss, Weeping Moss, and other dense fine-textured plants provide excellent cover and grazing surfaces.
Why do shrimp like moss?
Moss traps biofilm and tiny foods while giving shrimplets dense cover.
Do shrimp tank plants need CO2?
Many do not. Mosses, Anubias, Java Fern, and many Crypts grow well without injected CO2.
Are these plants pesticide-free?
We do not make blanket pesticide-free or copper-free claims. Inspect and rinse new plants before adding them to sensitive shrimp aquariums.
When do shrimp tank plants ship?
Plants ship Monday through Wednesday to reduce weekend transit risk.

About This Collection

Shrimp Tank Plants

Shrimp tank plants provide grazing surfaces, biofilm, shelter, and visual structure for freshwater shrimp colonies. This collection includes hardy mosses, Anubias, Java Fern, Cryptocoryne, and other plants commonly used in Neocaridina and planted shrimp aquariums. Mosses are especially useful because their fine branching growth creates dense biofilm surface area and cover for shrimplets. Broad-leaf plants such as Anubias and Java Fern offer additional grazing surfaces without demanding care. We do not make blanket pesticide-free or copper-free claims. Inspect and rinse new plants before adding them to sensitive shrimp aquariums.
