FAQ SECTION

Freshwater Shrimp for Sale - Your Questions Answered

I get these questions every week, so let me share the answers that will help you succeed.

What types of live freshwater shrimp do you have for sale?

I specialize in the most popular and successful freshwater aquarium shrimp for sale for home aquariums. Our selection includes hardy neocaridina species like cherry, blue dream, and yellow golden back shrimp that are perfect for beginners. For experienced keepers, I offer premium caridina varieties including crystal red shrimp, tiger shrimp, and rare collector-grade patterns.

I also stock essential utility species like amano shrimp (one of the best algae eaters in the hobby) and pinnochio shrimp (a quirky looking shrimp that is great for black beard algae)). Every live freshwater shrimp for sale in our collection has been chosen for its health, color quality, and success rate in home aquariums.

Do you really guarantee live arrival for shrimp orders?

Absolutely! I've been shipping live freshwater shrimp for sale nationwide for years, and I've perfected the packaging and shipping process. Every order comes with my comprehensive Live Arrival Guarantee - if any shrimp arrive deceased, I'll replace them immediately or provide a full refund.

I also include one extra shrimp per every 10 ordered as my way of ensuring your complete satisfaction. My careful packaging includes insulation in the boxes, temperature-appropriate heat or cool packs, and expedited shipping to minimize transit time. I ship every Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays, ensuring your freshwater shrimp for sale arrive when you're available to receive them.

What's the best freshwater shrimp for beginners?

Without hesitation, I recommend neocaridina shrimp as the perfect starter species. I've seen more success with neos than any other variety - they're incredibly hardy, adapt to various water conditions, breed readily, and the bright colors never gets old. If I had to choose just one I'd go for Blood Orange, but it's really a matter of personal taste.

If you want something a bit different, amano shrimp are great! They're affordable, efficient algae eaters, and perfect for learning shrimp behavior before investing in more expensive varieties.

The key to beginner success is starting with proven, hardy species from our neocaridina freshwater shrimp for sale collection rather than jumping straight into challenging caridina varieties.

How do you ship live freshwater shrimp safely?

I treat every shipment of live freshwater shrimp for sale like I'm sending them to my own family. Each shrimp is carefully packed in breather bags with just enough water for the journey. I include mesh for them to hold onto and Purigen pellets to help with any waste produced. These bags go into insulated bags that are surrounded by insulation to reduce movement and control temerature swings. Upon request I'm happy to include heat or cold packs. For detailed information about our complete shipping process, check out How Teacher's Pet Ships Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp to Ensure Safe Arrival. This behind-the-scenes look shows exactly how we package your shrimp for maximum safety and success.

Most importantly, I ship every Monday and Tuesday to ensure your shrimp don't sit in transit over weekends. This scheduling, combined with my packaging expertise, is why I can confidently offer a live arrival guarantee.

Want to ensure perfect acclimation when your shrimp arrive? Read our step-by-step Shrimp Acclimation Guide that eliminates guesswork and stress from the process.

Can I keep different species of freshwater shrimp together?

This is one of the most common questions I receive! The answer depends on what you're trying to achieve. Different neocaridina species (cherry, blue dream, yellow) can physically coexist peacefully, but they will interbreed and produce mixed-color offspring. This might be fine if you want a "skittles" tank, but problematic if you want to maintain pure breeding lines.

Amano shrimp, raccoon shrimp and pinocchio shrimp make excellent tankmates with any other freshwater shrimp for sale since they don't interbreed with dwarf shrimp species. I often recommend adding amano shrimp to any tank for algae control.

For our caridina freshwater shrimp for sale, I recommend species-only tanks to maintain genetic purity and because they require more specific water parameters. The one exception would be Taiwan Bees that can be kept together without hybridization. Mixing caridina and neocaridina is possible but requires compromise on water parameters that may not be optimal for either species.

What kind of tank setup do I need for freshwater aquarium shrimp?

Freshwater shrimp for sale thrive in well-established, stable environments. I always recommend starting with at least a 10-gallon tank - smaller tanks can work, but larger volumes are more stable and forgiving for beginners.

Essential equipment:

  • Filtration: Sponge filters are perfect - gentle flow that won't suck up baby shrimp
  • Heating: Most species do fine at room temperature, but a small heater adds stability
  • Lighting: Any LED light suitable for live plants
  • Substrate: Inert substrates for neocaridina, active buffering substrates for caridina

Critical requirements:

  • Fully cycled tank (never add shrimp to new setups)
  • Live plants for biofilm and hiding spots
  • Stable parameters (avoid frequent changes)
  • Copper-free environment (deadly to all shrimp)

The most important factor is patience - let your tank establish biofilm and beneficial bacteria before adding any live freshwater shrimp. A two-month-old planted tank will always be more successful than a brand-new setup.

EXPERT CARE GUIDE SECTION

Expert Care Guide for Your New Freshwater Shrimp

Success with freshwater shrimp comes down to understanding their needs and maintaining consistency. Here's what I've learned from years of breeding and shipping these curious creatures.

Understanding Water Parameters for Freshwater Shrimp

Water quality is everything in shrimp keeping - get this right, and everything else becomes easier.

The biggest difference between successful and struggling shrimp keepers is understanding that consistency matters more than perfection. I've seen thriving colonies in less-than-ideal parameters that remained stable, and failed tanks with "perfect" numbers that fluctuated constantly.

Neocaridina Species (The Hardy Choice)

These are the freshwater shrimp for sale I recommend for most aquarists because they adapt to a wide range of conditions:

  • pH Range: 6.5-8.0 (very forgiving)
  • Temperature: 68-78°F (room temperature usually works)
  • General Hardness (GH): 6-15 (moderate to hard water)
  • Carbonate Hardness (KH): 2-12 (good buffering capacity)
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 150-300 ppm

The real secret: If your tap water produces healthy fish, it will probably work for neocaridina shrimp with just a good water conditioner. Test your parameters, but don't obsess over small variations.

Caridina Species (The Precision Challenge)

Our premium caridina freshwater shrimp for sale require more specific conditions, but the results are worth the extra effort:

  • pH Range: 6.0-6.8 (soft, slightly acidic)
  • Temperature: 68-74°F (slightly cooler than neocaridina)
  • General Hardness (GH): 4-7 (soft water essential)
  • Carbonate Hardness (KH): 0-1 (very low buffering)
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 100-120 ppm

Pro tip: Most caridina keepers use RO water remineralized with shrimp-specific products. It sounds complicated, but once you establish the routine, it becomes automatic. For a deep dive into getting caridina water chemistry perfect, check out our detailed Caridina Shrimp Water Parameter Requirements guide.

Creating the Perfect Shrimp Tank Environment

Your tank setup can make or break your shrimp keeping success. Here's what really matters.

Tank Size Recommendations

I always recommend starting with at least 10 gallons for freshwater aquarium shrimp. Smaller tanks can work, but they're less stable and more challenging for beginners. Larger tanks buffer against parameter swings and give you more room for error.

If you're interested in smaller setups, our Complete Guide to Setting Up Your First Nano Shrimp Tank covers the specific challenges and solutions for successful small-volume shrimp keeping.

My preferred setups:
  • 10-20 gallons: Perfect for single-species colonies
  • 20-40 gallons: Can't go wrong here! There's room for hundreds of shrimp!
  • 5 gallons or less: Only for experienced keepers who understand the challenges

Filtration That Works

Sponge Filters are the gold standard for shrimp tanks, and here's why: gentle flow that won't suck up baby shrimp, excellent biological filtration, and surface area for biofilm growth that shrimp love to graze on.

I use dual sponge filters in most of my breeding tanks with DeNitrate in the barrels - if one gets clogged or needs cleaning, the other maintains biological filtration. Hang-on-back filters can work if you cover the intake with sponge pre-filters.

Water flow rate is often overlooked but critically important for shrimp health and breeding success. Our detailed guide on The Importance of Water Flow in Shrimp Tanks explains how to get the flow rate just right for optimal shrimp behavior and tank health.

Substrate Choices

For neocaridina species: Almost any aquarium substrate works. I prefer darker substrates because they make shrimp colors pop. Generally any sand or gravel, once rinsed, works fine.

For caridina species: Active buffering substrates are essential. These special substrates help maintain the low pH and soft water that caridina require. Popular brands include ADA Amazonia, Fluval Stratum, and SL-Aqua. I use Brightwell Rio Escuero in all my tanks, but every brand has minor pros and cons.

Plant Selection

Live plants are non-negotiable for successful shrimp keeping. They provide hiding spots, improve water quality, and most importantly, surfaces for biofilm growth - the natural food source that keeps shrimp healthy.

My top plant choices:
  • Java Moss (or any other type of moss): Shrimp breeding paradise, collects food particles
  • Anubias: Hardy, broad leaves perfect for grazing
  • Java Fern: Similar to Anubia, broad leaves for the shrimp to hang out on and nearly indestructable
  • Floating Plants: Natural filtration and cover for baby shrimp

🍽️ Feeding Your Freshwater Shrimp Properly

Less is more when it comes to feeding shrimp - let me explain the approach that actually works.

Understanding Natural Diet

Freshwater shrimp in your tank should spend most of their time grazing on biofilm - the microscopic layer of bacteria, algae, and organic matter that grows on all surfaces in established aquariums. This is their primary food source in nature and should be in captivity too.

A healthy shrimp tank has visible biofilm on glass, rocks, plants, and decorations. If your tank is too clean, your shrimp may struggle even with supplemental feeding. You can promote biofilm growth with BacterAE or Dead Shrimp Powder.

Supplemental Feeding Done Right

I feed my shrimp 2-3 times per week with high-quality shrimp pellets, and that's it for most tanks. Overfeeding is the number one killer of freshwater aquarium shrimp- it pollutes water, disrupts beneficial bacteria, and can trigger dangerous parameter swings.

Feeding guidelines:
  • Amount: Only what they can consume in 2-3 hours
  • Frequency: 2-3 times per week maximum
  • Quality: High-protein pellets designed for shrimp
  • Variety: Occasional blanched vegetables (spinach, zucchini, peas)

Special Considerations for Baby Shrimp

Newly hatched shrimp are tiny and need microscopic food sources. This is another reason why established biofilm is crucial - it provides the perfect first food for shrimplets.

In tanks with good biofilm, baby shrimp feed themselves. In newer or overly clean tanks, you might need specialized baby foods or liquid supplements, but established biofilm is always better.

Want to master shrimp nutrition and avoid the common feeding mistakes that kill more shrimp than any other factor? Read our comprehensive How to Feed Freshwater Shrimp Guide - it covers natural diet, supplemental feeding, and the feeding schedule that actually works.
