Chocolate Shrimp

 All Chocolate Shrimp are extremely adaptable creatures that can live in almost any freshwater aquarium.  They are very popular for planted tanks and community tanks, and many people use them in large aquariums for waste management and algae control.  Some of the younger shrimp have not reached their full potential yet and will grow into a rich brown color as long as they are comfortable in the tank.  Lower intensity lighting and dark substrate also helps them achieve the deepest browns.
