Q: How do I clean the aquarium shrimp cave?

A: Before first use, rinse it thoroughly under clean running water. For regular maintenance, remove it during water changes and gently scrub with a soft aquarium brush. Avoid soaps or detergents, as these can harm aquatic life.

Q: What size tank is the shrimp cave suitable for?
