The Peppermint Shrimp, often confused with Pacific species like the Camel Back, is a very popular shrimp because of its desire to eat nuisance glass anemones (Aiptasia). The body of the Peppermint shrimp is fairly transparent with red stripes that run parallel along their body. These shrimp are very easy to care for and prefer to be kept in groups. Peppermint Shrimp are the easiest of all shrimp to breed and will often be delivered carrying eggs. They should be fed daily and will not harm other shrimp. Peppermint Shrimp grow very quickly and will molt regularily. They are a great addition to any tank.
