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

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!

Very happy!

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.

A Blue Dream

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.

My favorite Amano

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!

Colorful Amano

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

Great for setting up new 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.

Beautiful

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!

Healthy, beautiful, and vibrant!

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! 🍌🦐

Beautiful and arrived alive!

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

My new favorite.

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!

They're one of our favorites too! The older they get the more their purple pops too.

Stunning!

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!

Perfect!!!

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.

Good quality shrimp

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

Happy Skittle Shrimps!

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

Really White

I love the white amanos! They stand out very nicely against substrate and driftwood. All arrived safe.
