About Us

Welcome to Teacher’s Pet!

I’m Daniel, a school teacher turned shrimp enthusiast! As an educator, I've spent years supporting young minds in the classroom, but my fascination of aquariums and all things shrimp led me here—breeding high-quality shrimp.

At Teacher’s Pet, my goal is to share the fascinating world of shrimp with fellow hobbyists and newcomers alike. The world is a complicated place, but keeping shrimp brings me interest and peace and I hope to share with you. 

I try to balance high quality and affordability. I cull heavily and when I import, I try to only get shrimp with breeders and farmers that I've grown to trust. That being said, I want others to be able to access my hobby, so I try to keep prices affordable so that you can have some of these lil guys in your tanks too. 

Join me in exploring this wonderful hobby! Whether you’re looking for advice, tips, or the perfect shrimp for your aquarium, I’m here to help. Together, let’s make every tank a thriving shrimp nirvana! Anybody can be a teacher's pet here.

Thank you for visiting. I’m excited to share my passion with you!

Warmly,
Daniel

Very good quality

Good customer service and shrimp look great

Beautiful, really red, and healthy

I am slowly building up a whole colony of these in my 75 gallon. The more you have, the more they start to interact with each other, which is fascinating. They are beautiful and active and among my favorite aquarium inhabitants.

Happy, healthy, colorful shrimp!

I am honestly so impressed with the quality of these shrimp!

Everyone survived the journey across the country. (Literally. They traveled from Portland to Rhode Island.) They were so safely packaged that I’m not even sure they noticed the trip.

They’ve acclimated to my tank beautifully and their colors are unmatched. They truly put my pet store shrimp to shame with their bold colors. I will definitely be purchasing future shrimp from here!

Awesome!

All shrimp arrived healthy and alive. The shipping was quick and they were well packed. Will be back for more!

I recently found this website and love it. We order from several different online stores for freshwater shrimp and fish. The prices can’t be beat, the quality is outstanding and they always ship one or two extras in the bag in case one dies. We have placed two large orders and everything arrived alive and healthy. I don’t know how they keep their prices so low and provide such great service we plan to continue ordering from them in the future.

Georgous shrimp that are a wonderful addition to my community tank.

Very good quality shrimp, all adult size and alive, and very well packaged.

Arrived healthy but still coloring up

No issues with delivery all arrived alive. However mine aren’t as gold as the pics. The blood oranges in my order have already colored up

Beautiful shrimp

Beautiful coloration, all arrived in great condition

Excellent

I am happy with my purchase, nice colors, good varieties, everyone arrived in good shape.

Cherry Shrimp, better than expected

No DOA, all of the shrimp look great and better grade than expected. Thank you.

Perfect!

They all arrived alive, well, and ahead of schedule! Amazingly packaged! The shrimps are doing amazingly in their new tank

Better than expected

All shrimp arrived exactly on time and all alive, even got a few free one thrown in!

Amazing! Bought from multiple times! Will buy again!

All arrived well packaged, alive, and are doing well! They do seem to be somewhat escape artists though, but that is not new about amanos.

Came healthy but theyre more blue than green

They're so cute!

Hi! I bought some shrimp here after doing some digging around (and having a not so great experience with another seller) and so far everything is fantastic. They were all super chill after shipping and drip acclimating to my tank. Took right to cleaning and swimming around and haven't had any issues yet. Absolutely no DOAs and no problems so far. Fantastic purchase. :)
(Photo included is one of them hanging out with one of my shrimplets)

Beautiful colors, hardy genetics, and got to work right away! Very stoked on these neos!

Happy and healthy skrumps!

All shrimp came alive and well! Dont know if it was intentional, but I got an extra orange Rili, and i couldnt be happier with all of them. Only thing is I couldnt avoid getting the tag-along frogbit out while transfering the shrimp without stressing them, but it'll compliment my salvinia well. Definitely my go-to for shrimp species now!

Vibrant

Beautiful large shrimp with such a deep vibrant blue, I love how they look

Exactly as pictured, arrived healthy and alive. Not as uniform as the other colors but i like the variety of the 11 sent (got an extra!)

All arrived healthy and alive. Super bright yellow!

All arrived healthy and alive. Consistant colors

Some are almost black, but i can see green when i put the light up to most of them. Nice colorations, but all 11 I received were darker than pictured. (They sent me an extra!)

Thanks so much for the review! Green Jades are notorious for taking a while to acclimate to new tanks and get their color back. If you aren't happy after a week of them in your tank please reach out!

All arrived alive and healthy. Consistant blue over a couple orders. 10/10
