The Peppermint Shrimp from the Indo-Pacific region is one of the best shrimp to have if you plan on owning several. They actually prefer to be kept in groups. Peppermints are peaceful, very cute, and affordable. They'll work very hard to keep your tank clean and are less shy than other shrimp so you'll see them out in the open more than other varieties. Peppermint Shrimp have been known to rid tanks of the pest anemone, Aiptasia. If it is hungry and the meaty offerings are not available, it may nip at coral polyps. Drip acclimation is recommended for all inverts to avoid rapid changes in water chemistry. Copper based medications can be fatal for inverts.
