About this item

Mini Mysid Cleaner Shrimp 

Mini Mysid Cleaner Shrimp (Mysid spp.) are ultra-small, self-propagating micro crustaceans that bring both functional cleanup and natural biological activity to marine aquariums. Typically measuring just a few millimeters in size, these shrimp operate continuously within rockwork, sand beds, and low-flow zones.

Unlike larger cleanup crew members, mysids excel at consuming fine organic particles, leftover food, and micro-detritus that accumulate in hard-to-reach areas. As a self-sustaining population, they can establish and multiply under stable conditions, creating a long-term, living micro-cleanup system within your aquarium.

Special Considerations

Mini Mysid Cleaner Shrimp are extremely small and may be preyed upon by fish, especially in systems with active hunters. For best results, introduce into established aquariums with adequate hiding spaces and low predation pressure. Populations thrive in refugiums or macroalgae-rich environments where they can reproduce and establish more effectively.
