Flower Shrimp

These shrimp are super fun to have in your tank. Flower shrimp have animated personalities, show off a little when they’re molting, and are genuinely peaceful additions to most community tanks. With their color-changing camouflage tricks, it’s like having a little light show in your aquarium.

In their natural habitat, Flower Shrimp live in rivers and streams with fast currents, so they’ll like a stronger filter flow in your tank.

Because they’re so small and need to camouflage themselves for survival, they can change colors quickly, going from tan to brown to red. Some people also believe that they are like mood shrimp, changing color at their whim.
