Live Shrimp

Live shrimp have become one of the most popular additions to freshwater aquariums — valued for their vibrant colours, active grazing behaviour, and their role as a natural part of the tank's clean-up crew.

Why choose quality-bred shrimp

• Better acclimatisation: shrimp bred and raised in stable, controlled conditions tend to settle into a new aquarium more easily than shrimp that have been through long transport chains.
• Consistent colour and grading: careful breeding and selection produces shrimp with stronger, more consistent colouration — important if you're building a specific grade or colony.
• Healthier stock: we monitor and quarantine our shrimp before they're offered for sale, so you're starting with animals in good condition.

Popular varieties

We regularly stock Neo-Caridina varieties such as Red Cherry and Blue Dream shrimp, along with other Caridina and freshwater shrimp species depending on availability. Stock changes frequently as shrimp are a livestock category with limited availability — check our shrimp collection for what's currently in.

Getting started with shrimp

Shrimp are sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters, so proper drip acclimation is important when introducing them to a new tank. If you're new to shrimp keeping, feel free to reach out and we'll walk you through what to expect.
