Best Quality Shrimp on the market

Fantastic service and the best quality shrimp you will find on the market. My orange Neocaridina arrived having been in the post for a day and looked super healthy. Normally shrimp from other companies arrive stressed and dull in colour but not from Shrimp corner. They are going to be stunning when they colour up properly. Thank you Shrimp Corner.

Nice healthy shrimp

Nice healthy shrimp and a couple of extras as well
Mostly a little larger than I was expecting which is a big plus.
Shipped very well and most settled in quickly partially due to good info that came with them.

Top Tier Shrimps and Service

I recently purchased some red stardust/snowflake Caridina shrimps and food from Shrimp Corner UK and had a great experience overall. Dat was super helpful and easy to chat with on WhatsApp, giving honest advice and tips on shrimp keeping without any pressure to buy. That alone made a big difference. The shrimps arrived safely and were packed really well. The quality is top tier , all healthy, vibrant, and exactly what was advertised. I’ll definitely be coming back for more and would happily recommend Shrimp Corner UK to anyone into shrimp keeping.

Repeat customer

This my second time ordering with shrimp corner uk. I can’t express how delighted and impressed I am with the quality service they provide. I originally had my heart set on blue jelly shrimp until I seen they were selling ‘the one green jade’- the quality, genetics and colours of them are just fantastic and they look fantastic in my jungle tank. I just can’t consider buying from another dealer for my shrimp needs. I got a hand written thank you note on my invoice, they even told me the sex of the shrimp-great ratio btw thanks!- a 3D printed keyring, and a free extra shrimp! Just stunning, 10 outae 10 guys, you really care.

Class shrimp suppliers that care!

It's hard to find specialised shrimp breeds when living in NI as local shops are limited and offer sometimes poor quality shrimp. Was so chuffed to find these guys! Their variety of neocaridina shrimps is so much bigger than most other suppliers, and they're clearly passionate about the care as well! Got a mix of 14 different cherries and all arrived healthy and thriving in my 15 gallon! Also snagged the Forest Green and Wild Red food and the shrimp LOVE these. Also, fast customer service, would recommend these guys to anyone. If I ever got into caridina shrimp, I'd come back here! <3

Excellent shrimp

Useful web site with clear pictures and water parameters. Easy to order and and shipping packaging was excellent with heat pack and inside a styrofoam box.
Instructions were very clear and received a small amount of their shrimp food.
Shrimp as described and soon show good color when relaxed in tank.
I would and have reordered over products from Shrimp Corner, excellent service and top shrimp and snails.

Just use Shrimp Corner!

First time ordering any live animals for delivery and did so with some nervousness but it was all unfounded. Shrimp corner were great, I ordered them yesterday and they arrived this morning. 10 x shrimp and 5+ snails, all delivered well packaged with a little warming pack with them to keep them warm. Very very impressed, will be coming back for more shrimp as soon as I can. This is now my go-to place. Very pleased.

Top notch!

Bought another 2 batches (I have several tanks). But this time I also bought moss. As usual everything was perfect. Just having quick glance at what others have written these shrimps are by far the best shrimps I've ever bought. Going back to my previous review I had never bought shrimps online before but I can guarantee these are top notch shrimps, better than shrimps I've ever bought from an aquatic shop.

My shrimp arrived safely

My shrimp arrived safely, in a well packed box, with a heatpack.
Really good instructions with what to do, before putting them into my tank.
Shrimp love to play hide & seek, so don't be surprised if you can't see them in your plants, decorations etc.
Will be buying some more from Shrimp Corner UK.
Thank you.

Excellent first time experience

I recently bought some Amano shrimp from Shrimp Corner and had a very positive experience. The shrimp arrived in first class condition and were very well packaged. The shrimp have settled in well and are thriving.

Best to Buy Quality Shrimps

Owner personally handpicked my shrimps. It's not randomly chosen. You won't worry about getting all males or all females.
Packaging was awesome with heat pack and inside a styrofoam box.
Instructions were very clear.
I even received a small amount of their shrimp food.

Can't fault anything - will order again!

Fantastic communication, sent a little freebie to make up for posting later even though this was because of the cold weather. The shrimp arrived in PERFECT condition, full of life and a great size. The snails are awesome and much bigger again than I expected. The packaging was excellent and they arrived lovely and toasty despite the cold conditions. Will definitely be ordering again thank you!
