Aquavitro Shrimp Pipes 5 Pcs. — Multi-Tunnel Porous Ceramic Shelter Cluster for Invertebrate Aquariums

The Aquavitro Shrimp Pipes 5 Pcs. (SKU: 725166-7083) is a clustered 5-tube ceramic shelter engineered to maximise living space and hideouts for dwarf shrimp colonies. Small aquarium inhabitants like shrimp and fish instinctively seek secluded spots to reduce stress and avoid being preyed upon. This is especially crucial for vulnerable moulting shrimp and egg-carrying females, who may abandon their eggs without a secure refuge.  The stacked multi-pipe arrangement creates distinct territorial compartments, enabling multiple shrimp to seek refuge simultaneously without competition or territorial stress.

Manufactured from high-purity porous clay, these tubes promote rich biofilm growth across both inner and outer surfaces. The inert properties ensure complete water neutrality, making it an ideal breeding accessory for sensitive Caridina species (such as Crystal Red or Taiwan Bee shrimp) and Neocaridina colonies. Aquavitro shrimp enrichment accessories offer ideal hiding places and can also foster the growth of beneficial algae and biofilm, which serve as important food sources for many small shrimp species.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Shrimp Colony Expansion: Supports higher stocking densities by providing separate hideaways for multiple individuals.

Placement Guide

• Position on the aquarium floor or tuck between driftwood and stones.

• Cover with mosses or epiphytic plants to construct a living, natural bio-architectural element.
