from 273 reviewsI 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!

I absolutely love my new little shrimp friends. They look exactly as pictured and are so delightful. All shrimp arrived alive (after being shipped across the country) and they included an extra, and an adorable little leopard ramshorn. And as if that wasn’t enough, there were 4 teeny tiny babies in the bag as well! Everyone has settled well and they are zooming all around and thriving.
I am so very pleased and will absolutely order again in the future.

First order. They look super healthy! All of them survived after few days.

These were my first order of shrimp. They were well packaged up for me to pickup. Very colorful group with lots of cool different flavors. Thanks!
First order and it did not disappoint! I was sent an extra and all of them made it safely, they were clearly packed with EXTREME caution, and arrived appearing extremely healthy after their long journey. On top of the care that was taken with selection and packaging, these beauties are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Great service, communication, and packaging. Everything made it to TX in Aug alive and well
