We are a small team of dedicated Shrimp Breeders who are committed to bringing you the best quality shrimps possible. Through rigorous selective breeding in our facility, or by Importing the highest quality shrimp from reputable breeders In Asia and the rest of the world.
As a Shrimp enthusiast in the UK finding high quality Caridina shrimps is very difficult. We decided to take on the challenge of changing this. Our vision is to work with reputable breeders from Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore and Europe to bring these small freshwater shrimps to tanks throughout the UK for new and existing hobbyists to enjoy.
Cycle your tank..

​
Acclimatisation..
​
To be successful in keeping Caridina shrimps you must follow the basics….
​
Once you receive the shrimps you must drip acclimatise them to their new
environment.
Simply by using aquarium air line tubing from the tank to a
container with water the shrimp have been transported in.
Slow drip process
is vital as you don’t want to shock the shrimps!
Tie a knot in one end of the
tubing to allow slow drips of your aquarium water for between 2-3 hours for
the new shrimp to acclimatise to your water parameters.
​
Once ready slowly
net them into your tank.
