Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp for Sale
Freshwater dwarf shrimp are a favorite among planted tank hobbyists for their algae-cleaning behavior, peaceful temperament, and stunning color varieties. On Light Fish you'll find freshwater shrimp listed directly by U.S. breeders — including Neocaridina species (cherry, blue dream, green jade), Caridina species (crystal red, bee shrimp), and rarer specialty lines. Sellers grade their animals by color intensity, pattern, and breeding-stock quality, so buyers can pick exactly the line they want.
All shrimp orders on Light Fish are covered by the platform's Live Arrival Guarantee. Shrimp are packed in breather bags with heat or cold packs as needed, shipped in styrofoam-lined insulated boxes via priority or overnight carrier, and weather-monitored along the route. Shrimp thrive in stable, well-cycled tanks — always acclimate new arrivals slowly using the drip method to reduce stress. Avoid copper-based medications, which are lethal to all freshwater shrimp species.
