There are many types of ornamental shrimp, different types of culture together will have the risk of string species, at present only cherry shrimp and crystal shrimp will not string, but even so, it is not recommended to carry out polyculture, because all kinds of shrimp on the water requirements are not the same, to meet the growth of one kind of shrimp, another will be limited. Moreover, the weak shrimp will be bullied in the tank and can not eat anything, thus affecting its development.
1. Impurity of offspring: When different varieties of ornamental shrimps are raised together, the most worrying problem is that the offspring are impure, because mutual hybridization may lead to the reproduction of shrimps losing the ornamental value of the previous generation and becoming ordinary shrimps with black shells. However, for non-professional shrimp farmers, It may not be too big a problem.
2. Poor state: There are many varieties of ornamental shrimps, and different varieties of shrimps have different requirements for the environment. This mainly includes three aspects: water temperature, pH value, and hardness. In order to ensure the state of cultivation, the growth needs of shrimps must be met, but meeting one will affect the other, resulting in poor state of some shrimps.
3. Competing with each other: There is another risk in polyculturing ornamental shrimps, that is, different species of shrimps will compete with each other. Usually, the bigger shrimp will attack the smaller ones, and they will grab the food. If the body shape is similar, some stronger shrimp will also suppress the weaker shrimp.
