Peppermint Shrimp FOM

Peppermint SHrimpWhile it may not be a fish, the peppermint shrimp is a saltwater invertebrate that deserves this month’s attention!

These popular marine shrimp are easy to keep and very affordable, and also do a great job of ridding the aquarium of aiptasia. Native to the Atlantic, peppermint shrimp have long been bred in captivity, and many aquarists successfully breed them at home. These shrimp would make a great addition to your reef this holiday season.
