Freshwater Inverts

Freshwater invertebrates are a diverse group of animals that are popular additions to the aquarium hobby. They can include snails, shrimp, crayfish, and various types of freshwater crabs.

Snails are perhaps the most common type of freshwater invertebrate in the aquarium hobby. They are valued for their ability to help clean the aquarium by eating algae and other organic matter. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, from the small and brightly colored cherry shrimp to the large and docile apple snail.

Shrimp are also popular freshwater invertebrates, prized for their interesting behavior and colorful appearance. There are many different types of freshwater shrimp available in the aquarium hobby, ranging from the small and delicate crystal red shrimp to the larger and more robust amano shrimp.

Crayfish are another type of freshwater invertebrate that are popular in the aquarium hobby. They are known for their aggressive behavior and can be quite active and entertaining to watch. However, they do require specific care requirements and should only be added to aquariums that are appropriate for their needs.

Freshwater crabs are also popular in the aquarium hobby, although they are less well-known than snails, shrimp, and crayfish. They are valued for their unique appearance and can be quite interesting to watch as they scuttle around the aquarium.
