It doesn't always have to be fish! Because now, our freshwater aquariums are home to some truly fascinating critters: shrimp. The popularity of these invertebrates is steadily increasing, and their diversity is immense. It's enjoyable to watch the shrimp scuttle around the aquarium, searching for food and then darting off—either walking or swimming through the tank at a good pace. In the GU Animal Guide to Freshwater Shrimp, shrimp experts Chris Lukhaup and Reinhard Pekny explain what is essential for a species-appropriate shrimp life: from the right aquarium, including technology and equipment, to nutrition and care. Twenty-four detailed profiles introduce the most popular shrimp species. Additionally, there are tips for keeping shrimp with fish and crabs. The behavior interpreter also provides insights.
