Product Information

Full details

The SuperFish Undergravel Shrimp Labyrinth is designed for shrimp keepers, breeders, and hobbyists looking to enhance their aquarium environment. It provides a naturalistic, maze-like refuge that promotes exploration while serving as a secure nursery for shrimp and fry, effectively reducing stress and improving survival rates. While it is an excellent sanctuary, it is important to note that you must properly bury the labyrinth under your substrate to ensure it remains stable and provides the intended hidden habitat for your aquatic pets.

FAQs

Can this be used for fish?

Yes, it is suitable for small fish and fry that require a place to hide or retreat.

Will it affect my water parameters?

The ceramic material is inert and will not significantly impact your water chemistry, though it may provide surface area for bacteria.

How do I clean the inside of the tunnels?

You can gently rinse the labyrinth under running, dechlorinated water or use a small soft brush to clear out debris during tank maintenance.

Is this safe for all shrimp species?

Yes, it is designed to be safe for all standard freshwater shrimp species like Cherry or Crystal shrimp.

Do I have to bury it?

While you can place it on top of the substrate, burying it partially is recommended to provide the secure, darkened environment that shrimp prefer.

Troubleshooting

Shrimp are ignoring the labyrinth

Ensure the labyrinth is placed in a quiet area of the tank and try placing some attractant food or moss near the tunnel entrance.

Substrate falling inside the tunnels

Verify the grain size of your substrate; if it is too fine, consider using a slightly coarser gravel around the openings to maintain tunnel integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes natural exploration and reduces stress in shrimp
  • Provides a safe nursery area for fry and small inhabitants
  • Ceramic material supports beneficial bacteria growth
  • Easy to integrate into existing tank layouts
  • Durable and safe construction

Cons

  • Requires partial burial in substrate for best functionality
  • May be difficult to move once fully settled in the substrate
  • Limited to smaller species of shrimp and fish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the labyrinth, simply place it in your chosen aquarium location before adding your primary substrate. Ensure the openings are not completely blocked by large rocks or heavy planting. Gently layer your substrate around and partially over the labyrinth until the desired level of concealment is reached.

For maintenance, it is generally recommended to leave the unit in place. If you perform a deep substrate clean, be cautious around the labyrinth to avoid disrupting the burrows. Because it is ceramic, you can rinse it with clean, dechlorinated tank water if you remove it during a tank overhaul, but avoid using harsh chemicals or soap which can damage the established biological colony.
