FAQs
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
No, this product is specifically designed for freshwater tropical and coldwater aquariums only.
Is the moss real?
No, the moss is artificial, which allows it to maintain its appearance without needing light, CO2, or fertilizers.
How do I safely clean the artificial moss?
Use a soft brush and clean, dechlorinated water. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can be absorbed by the ceramic and harm your shrimp.
Will this ornament change my water pH?
No, the ceramic material is chemically inert and will not impact your water parameters.
Is this safe for baby shrimp?
Yes, the internal space provides a protected area where small shrimp can hide from larger tank inhabitants.
What are the exact dimensions?
The product measures 13.2 cm in length by 8.4 cm in width.
Troubleshooting
Ornament becomes covered in unsightly algae
Remove the ornament and gently scrub it in a bucket of tank water using a soft brush, then return it to the aquarium.
Shrimp are not using the shelter
Try repositioning the ornament near heavy plant life or areas with lower water flow, as shrimp prefer calmer, covered environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before placing the ornament in your tank, give it a quick rinse under lukewarm tap water to remove any surface dust from packaging. No soaps or detergents should be used. Ensure you place the Shrimp Home on a stable, level surface within your tank, such as gravel or sand, to prevent wobbling.
For ongoing care, remove the ornament during your monthly water change to gently brush off any excess algae or detritus using a soft-bristled aquarium-only brush. This product is strictly for freshwater use; do not submerge in saltwater as the composition of the ornament may react to high salinity levels over time.
