Glass shrimp house ARQUIVET Aqua Natura transparent 5×5×5 cm, 23 g

ARQUIVET Aqua Natura glass shrimp house is a transparent glass ornament measuring 5×5×5 cm and weighing 23 g. It is designed to provide a compact shelter and hiding place for freshwater shrimp and other small aquatic invertebrates. The small, clear structure integrates into planted and nano aquariums without obscuring view, offering a simple refuge that supports natural behavior and can serve as a breeding shelter or territorial marker.

Advantages

The glass construction is inert, does not leach chemicals, and is easy to clean, ensuring stable water parameters. Its compact cubic shape fits into tight aquarium layouts and planted setups, while the transparent finish maintains visual continuity in the tank. Lightweight design allows flexible placement on substrate or among decorations, and the smooth surfaces reduce risk of injury to delicate shrimp.

Suitable for

• Freshwater shrimp species (e.g., Neocaridina, Caridina)
• Nano aquariums and planted tanks
• Breeding shelters and juvenile protection
• Creating territorial boundaries for small invertebrates
• Display aquariums where unobtrusive decor is needed

How to use

Rinse the glass shrimp house in dechlorinated or aquarium water before placing it in the tank to remove any dust from packaging. Position the ornament on the substrate, among plants, or near rock structures so shrimp can access it easily. For breeding or protection of juveniles, place multiple shelters at different locations to reduce competition and provide escape routes. Avoid using strong adhesives or sealants; the glass piece is ready for direct placement once cleaned.

Usage recommendations

Monitor placement to ensure unobstructed water flow and regular cleaning during maintenance. Clean gently with aquarium-safe tools to avoid scratches; avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal stress on the glass. Combine with live plants and biofilm-promoting surfaces to encourage natural grazing behavior.
