Fire Shrimp - Lysmata debelius

The **Fire Shrimp** is among the top five most sought-after shrimp for reef aquariums. These shrimp boast a vibrant red body adorned with white spots on their backs. **Fire Shrimp** grow to about 2 inches and require a minimum tank size of 10 gallons. They are peaceful and generally do not disturb other fish, invertebrates, or corals. While they can clean fish of parasites, they are not as frequent in this behavior as Cleaner Shrimp.

**Fire Shrimp** thrive in tanks with ample live rock for daytime hiding. They are sensitive to intense lighting typical in reef tanks and need shelter during daylight hours. As scavengers, they contribute to tank cleanliness, making them valuable members of cleanup crews. Avoid housing them with aggressive large fish or eels, and ensure water conditions are optimal.

Being carnivorous, **Fire Shrimp** need a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and small pieces of fresh seafood to maintain their health and happiness.
