from 280 reviewsVery beautiful and healthy shrimp. Everything came well packaged and survived the trip. Overall, the best experience I've had buying shrimp online by far

Some discoloration striaght out the bag but once drip acclimated and settled into tank their true colors came out.

Arrived alive and well. Drip acclimated for about ~3 hours and are looking beautifuln

Arrrived alive and well! Hopefully can start a shrimp colony!

Received all live happy shrimp, plus extras. Couldn’t be happier and planning on purchasing again.

It was amazing they came in perfect. I will be ordering more now.

Excellent experience, order confirmation was quick and shipped fairly quick considering the local heatwave. Box arrived timely and in perfect condition. No doas. At least one shrimp was very berried. Definitely recommend Teacher's Pet.

I love all Amano shrimps, but the Snow White ones are my current favorite. Beautiful, active shrimp that are the perfect clean up crew. Teacher’s Pet always has lovely shrimp at a good price. I will always buy my shrimp here!

I love Amano shrimp for their tank cleaning abilities, and this color morph gives a great pop of color in my tank.

I used this when setting up my a new tank, and it helped cycle the tank under dark start in 3 weeks. I now use it weekly with water changes. So glad teacher’s pet carries this.

I have had shrimp from other breeders that never bred until I received these shrimp. I have had them for less than six months and I have a ton of babies. I can’t recommend this breeder enough!

I ordered 10 but received 12! One sadly passed but the other 11 are doing very well. I love the beautiful glittery pattern on their backs, seem to really love algae wafers, I can draw out all 11 with half a wafer. I've had them for about a week and one even arrived berried! So excited for new little banana boys in my tank! 🍌🦐

Ordered 5, got 6, all arrived nice and healthy and have made a great addition to my tank.

These little purple guys are something else. They look black but once they get a little light on them, you see that awesome purple metallic pops out. These have easily become my favorites!

These little guys are beautiful! Their colors and patterns are top notch. All arrived alive and healthy but that’s what you get with teachers pet shrimp!
