Shrimps

Shrimps are small crustacean animals widely distributed worldwide in saltwater and freshwater environments. They are closely related to crabs and lobsters and have a hard exoskeleton and a segmented body. 

Facts

Many shrimp species range from just a few millimeters to several inches long. They are popular among aquarium hobbyists due to their colorful appearance and ability to help keep the aquarium clean by consuming algae and detritus. 

Interesting observation

They may look dead when molting, and thats why some think that shrimps can play dead.

Some shrimp species can be sensitive to water quality and require good filtration and regular water changes to thrive. They are also an important commercial food source, with many species being harvested for human consumption.
