If you love watching tiny, colourful creatures busy themselves in a planted tank, shrimp are for you. We’ve kept and shipped these little guys for years, and we still enjoy watching them work through a tank, cleaning up algae. In this post, we’ll walk you through the best species, what they get along with, and how to set up their home properly.

Why Keep Shrimp in Your Tank?

Shrimp aren’t just pretty. They do a real job in your aquarium.

  • They graze on algae and leftover food
  • They add colour without needing a big tank
  • They breed easily once settled in
  • They stay peaceful with most tank mates

If you’re browsing freshwater aquarium shrimp for sale, you’re picking up a hardworking cleanup crew along with a splash of colour.

Popular Shrimp Species We Recommend

We stock a good range, and each type brings something different to your tank.

Cherry and Fire Shrimp

Sakura Cherry, Bloody Mary Red, and Red Fire shrimp are bold, easy to spot, and beginner friendly. They breed well in stable water.

Bee Shrimp

Crystal Red and Crystal Black Bee shrimp look striking, but they prefer steadier water conditions. We’d suggest these once you’ve got some experience under your belt.

Amano Shrimp

These are the algae-eating champions. Bigger than most shrimp, calm, and great for keeping your glass and plants clean.

Colour Variety

Blue Diamond, Yellow Fire, Black Rose, and Tangerine Orange shrimp add real personality to a planted tank. Mixed shrimp packs are a fun way to try a few types at once.

Tank Mates: Who Gets Along with Shrimp?

Shrimp are gentle, so choose tank mates carefully.

  • Small, peaceful fish like tetras or rasboras
  • Snails, since they share similar needs
  • Avoid large or aggressive fish that see shrimp as a snack

Setting Up the Right Conditions

Good water means happy, healthy shrimp. Here’s what we always tell customers:

  • Keep water stable, sudden changes stress shrimp out
  • Add live plants or moss for hiding spots
  • Avoid copper-based medications, they’re harmful to shrimp
  • Feed small amounts, shrimp don’t need much
