These shrimp have an appetite for all kinds of freshwater algae, but will not harm plants. Very hardy and easy to keep, they are compatible with koi and small community fish.
Tropical fish such as bettas, gouramis, chinese algae eaters, guppies, plecostomus, and algae-eating shrimp are excellent choices for the classroom aquarium.
