Benefits of Healthy Plants to Shrimps

If an aquarium tank is healthy and well-balanced, shrimps will also benefit from it. The following are the advantages:

Oxygen Release: Aquatic plants release oxygen during photosynthesis, which benefits both the plants and the freshwater shrimp.

Filtration: Aquarium plants also function as as natural filters, that reduces the waste chemicals such as nitrates and phosphates produced by the shrimp's dirt.

Hiding places: Healthy aquatic plants become a safe, hiding place for the shrimps. The shrimps may hide under dense plant growth, lowering the stress and boosting their sense of security.

Biofilm growth: Some shrimp species feed on biofilm that naturally forms on plant surfaces, adding a complement to their diet.

As what I have mentioned earlier, adding fertilizers may not be necessary for them to grow, it will contribute to the general health of the aquarium environment. When the aquatic plants are healthy, it will help the freshwater shrimps to dwell in a richer, more stable environment. However, it is important to know that overdosing the tank with fertilizers will lead to excess nutrients which will be a favorite meal for the algae, that will result to greater harm for both plants and shrimps.
