Aquavitro Shrimp Accessory Dome
Small shrimp, fish, and other animals naturally seek out seclusion from time to time to ease stress and avoid predation. Small shrimp, in particular, are vulnerable when they shed their exoskeleton, and female shrimp carrying eggs often seek out dark areas to protect themselves and their eggs. Without refuge, it is common for females to abandon their eggs. Aquavitro shrimp enrichment accessories are ideal for providing this type of refuge. In addition, they can act as a substrate for fine algae and/or bio-film to develop which are considered important food sources for many small shrimp.

The shrimp access dome has made a big difference in my tank. The females now stay near the dome when carrying eggs, and I’ve noticed more active feeding. The algae growth is visible after a few weeks, which is great for natural food sources.

It’s a simple but effective addition. My shrimp use it for hiding, especially during molting. The surface supports some algae, which the shrimp seem to enjoy.

I’ve had this for two months now and the shrimp are more relaxed. The dome stays stable and doesn’t fall apart. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to improve shrimp well-being.
