Quick Answers

What is the difference between Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp?
Neocaridina shrimp are hardy and adaptable, doing well in most stable, conditioned tap water in the appropriate range. Caridina shrimp require more precise water chemistry — typically soft, slightly acidic water made with RO filtered water and a remineralizer. Neocaridina are the better starting point for beginners.
What tank size do freshwater shrimp need?
A 5-gallon tank is a common starting point, though 10 gallons or more gives you more stability and room for a colony to grow. Shrimp are small but sensitive to water swings, so more water volume generally means more forgiveness.
Can freshwater shrimp live with fish?
Many peaceful nano fish make good tank mates — ember tetras, chili rasboras, and otocinclus are popular choices. Avoid fish large enough to eat shrimp or species known to nip at them. Shrimp-only tanks are also perfectly valid and often produce the strongest colonies.
How many shrimp should I start with?
A group of 10 or more gives a healthy start for a breeding colony. Smaller groups can work but take longer to establish. Mixed packs like our Skittles assortment are a popular way to try multiple colors at once.
Are your shrimp quarantined before shipping?
Yes. All shrimp are inspected and quarantined at our facility before orders go out. Every shipment is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee and ships Monday through Thursday with insulated packaging.

About This Collection

All Freshwater Shrimp

Freshwater shrimp are one of the most rewarding additions to a planted aquarium. They're peaceful, endlessly active, and come in a spectrum of colors that can genuinely transform the look of a tank. At Razz Aquatics, we carry a wide selection — from beginner-friendly Neocaridina to advanced Caridina and rare Sulawesi species. If you're just getting started, Neocaridina shrimp like Cherry Shrimp, Blue Dream, and Bloody Mary are excellent first choices. They're adaptable, breed readily, and thrive in most stable, conditioned tap water in the appropriate range. For experienced keepers looking for something more challenging, our Caridina lineup includes Taiwan Bees like Blue Bolt, Wine Red, and Shadow Panda, along with Cardinal Sulawesi — species that reward careful husbandry with stunning coloration. All shrimp are quarantined and inspected before shipping. Orders are backed by our Live Arrival Guarantee and ship Monday through Thursday with insulated packaging and heat or cool packs as needed. Not sure where to start? Browse our Neocaridina Shrimp collection for beginner-friendly options, or explore Caridina Shrimp if you're ready for the next level.
