Whether you're starting your first shrimp colony or adding something unique to an established aquarium, our team can help you choose shrimp suited to your setup.
Neocaridina Shrimp — Our Specialty
Neocaridina shrimp are among the most popular freshwater aquarium shrimp thanks to their beautiful colors, active personalities, and relatively straightforward care.
We regularly offer colorful varieties such as Red Cherry, Blue Dream, Yellow, Orange, and other Neocaridina color morphs.
These shrimp make excellent additions to peaceful, mature planted aquariums and are especially popular among hobbyists interested in breeding colorful shrimp colonies.
Our selection changes regularly, so there's often something new to discover.
Specialty Freshwater Shrimp
In addition to Neocaridina, we also offer other freshwater shrimp varieties when available.
Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina)
These striking red-and-white shrimp are popular among experienced hobbyists. Crystal Red Shrimp generally require softer, more acidic water than Neocaridina, making stable water parameters especially important.
Amano Shrimp
Known for their algae-grazing behavior, Amano shrimp are a popular choice for planted aquariums. Their active nature makes them fascinating to watch as they explore plants, driftwood, and hardscape.
Bamboo / Flower Shrimp
These unique filter-feeding shrimp use specialized fan-like appendages to collect suspended food particles from the water. They thrive in mature aquariums with suitable water flow and access to fine suspended foods.
Shrimp Keeping Supplies & Advice
Healthy shrimp colonies start with stable water conditions and a properly established aquarium.
At Underwater Tropics, we can help you explore shrimp foods, filtration, water parameters, minerals, and aquarium plants to create a suitable environment for your shrimp.
Whether you're maintaining a colorful Neocaridina colony or preparing a specialized Caridina aquarium, we're happy to help you understand their different care requirements.
