Did you know shrimps have grades?
Low Grade Cherry Shrimp
These shrimp often have faded colors and slimmer bodies. They are considered low grade, but are cost-effective, making them ideal for beginners to get started with shrimp keeping or for those wanting to give it a try without a significant investment.
Standard Grade Cherry Shrimp
Commonly available from most suppliers as budget-friendly shrimp options, these shrimp typically feature somewhat red coloration with some spots and a more slender body.
Fire Red Shrimp
Fire Reds boast fuller, vivid colors and bulkier shapes, making them excellent for producing strong colonies and culls for breeding. Swimming Creatures’ Fire Red Shrimp are the market’s favorite, known for their highest quality and often including Painted Red lines.
Painted Red Shrimp
The best in the market, Painted Red Shrimp from Swimming Creatures are top quality at cost-effective prices. Ideal for creating vibrant colonies, they feature excellent coloring and larger, bulkier bodies. Each shrimp is hand-picked from a quality farm with decades of expertise.
I have so much respect and trust for this seller, and you should too!
If you are debating whether or not to do it - DO IT. I have so much respect for this business and how much care and attention goes into the well-being of these little guys. I received 4 of each color, all still alive after being acclimated to my 10 gal for 2-3 hours according to the water parameters they provided in the box. They had one extra shrimp to account for DOA issues, but unfortunately he passed away. However, the rest of the shrimp are lovely, lively, and beautiful - one of them is berried! I could not recommended this business more and I am beyond happy with my purchase. THANK YOU SWIMMING CREATURES!!! :-)
Absolutely beautiful shrimp and even arrived with a few pregnant!
Absolutely beautiful shrimp and even arrived with a few pregnant and a few babies swimming around! Unfortunately looks like a few passed away in shipping, but I wasn't interested in compensation since the ones that did arrive were perfectly healthy and absolutely beautiful, but I'm sure this is because I am all of the way in Texas. On top of that they began reproducing almost immediately and within a month 7 became 30, and now 30 has become probably over 80! The packaging was done perfectly and there was absolutely no signs of rough handling, so I think I just got poor luck due to travel time / weather but I absolutely do not regret making the decision to raise these fantastic pets! They are so surprisingly smart and just FILLED with personality. Better than any fish I've had, and if you get attached to one It'll really steal your heart, their faces are so cute!
Well packaged. All arrived alive. I ordered multiple times.
I have ordered shrimp from here twice. Once when it was hot out and once now that it's cold. Each time all the shrimp arrived alive. Very well packaged. I did lose a couple each time in my tank in the first day or two unfortunately but I guess that's to be expected. The shrimp are colorful and a nice size.
Surprisingly satisfied. They are well packaged!
I am so happy with the shrimp I received from this order. I was surprised how well they were packaged, I was sent an extra couple shrimp just in case, and was very satisfied with that. It's been a few days and they're all doing just fine. All of them are bright colors and healthy. It's so nice to find a good online service for shrimp for my tank. Most of the aquarium places I've gone to like to charge $4 to $9 per shrimp. I was able to get them for about $3 each through this company.
A awesome company to order your products
The shrimp are bigger and most definitely brighter than I've ever bought before. The are true to their word and replies right back and has a kind word every time. Thank you
Excellent shipping, quality and shrimp! Buying again.
My shrimp all arrived alive, and even with swimming babies in the bag. Several were also berried, so looking forward to even more shrimp soon. I have ordered twice now, and the shrimp sent were a great variety of colors- I got reds both cherry and dark enough to be maybe bloody Mary's, both light and dark blue, lemon yellow, orange, some clear or almost clear, some with patterns and at least two so dark blue they look black. So, really happy happy about the variety of colors! I drip acclimated my shrimp and had zero issue with acclimation. Shrimp have all been happy and active in their tank. Excellent communication from the company with questions, and highly recommend ordering from them if you are looking for adding shrimp to your aquascape and tanks.
Very good quality, compare to other sellers!!
I ordered from two different companies. This batch looked so much better in both color and size. Would definitely recommend.
All arrived alive & 4 of them were pregnant!
I usually don’t write reviews but had to 5-star this one. Got 14 shrimp, a variety of colors, all alive and super active. When we added them to the tank, we noticed 3 tiny babies that had to have been born within the past few days. 3 of the adult shrimp are also pregnant. I wasn’t confident buying shrimp off Amazon, but I’m pleasantly surprised with what we got. Planning to order more next week!
How to Safely Acclimate Shrimp & Fish
Proper acclimation is essential for maintaining the health of your shrimp and fish. If a drip acclimation kit is unavailable, the following steps may be used.
1. Float the bag in the tank for 15 minutes. Ensure not to exceed this time for breathable fish bags.
2. Transfer the shrimp/fish to a small container, ensuring to remove any deceased ones.
3. Add 4 ounces of your aquarium water to the container. Repeat this process 2-3 times every 10 minutes.
4. Discard half of the water from the container and repeat step #3.
5. Carefully use a net to transfer the shrimp/fish to the aquarium.

Came much quicker than expected, with extra shrimp! Only one DOA and plenty of the extra ones. Bright color, looking forward to seeing their colony grow

Old full grown on arrival, those that were alive. Will berry a couple eggs and loose those. All my other shrimp thrive in same water conditions. Breed like crazy. These have almost all died from old age or poor quality.

Always die, poor quality , none are 1/4-1/2" , all are full grown - same for all 3 orders. They die in freshly cycled tanks or tanks cherries were just removed from. I am a breeder and have 3 blue Dream and a Rilli colony.

Bought a pack of 20 and they’re all female. You know anyone who needs a pack of 20 and doesn’t want some males in there? Neither do I.Plenty of different shrimp breeders out there. Give them your business instead. Feels like I got scammed.

I have gone through nearly shrimp from this company since December. I have been keeping shrimp for years. My water parameters are perfect and I have other shrimp in my tanks that are still alive. My boyfriend got me 10 for Christmas. Those were all dead by my birthday in February. We got more a 20 pack. Within days I lost almost half the shrimp. The company sent me 7 more and I now have 6 left. I have a live planted tank with just shrimp. Tons of drift wood for microalgea, Indian leaves for them to eat and add tannins, cuttlefish bone to correct ph if needed and calcium for molts. They are given summplemental food as needed for molts amd shrimp lollies. I have live plants growing out the top to suck up nitrates not that I have any. There are blue bolts in the tank with them from another company that are fine- and blue bolts are much more sensitive. This has been not only costly but heart breaking to watch them die over and over. At this point I've brought my water to other aquarium stores and shrimp hobbiests explaining my situation to them. They all agree it has to be the shrimp are low quality to not last more than a few months as my conditions are excellent. I breed a colony of blue bolts in the same tank before moving that colony I left a few in the tank. Please save yourself money and heartbreak and buy from somewhere else. Aquatic arts, flip aquatics, the shrimp guy. There are many and they don't die after a few months.

I ordered 20 yellow shrimp. All arrived quickly (I opted to pay for quicker shipping), healthy and all 20+ were alive and thriving! They've been in their cycled tank for about an hour, after doing a proper drip acclimation and all very active! Great packaging as well. Very happy with my purchase and would order neocaridinas from them again 🙂

Have ordered from swimming creatures several times, and all of their shrimp have been awesome. The colors of their shrimp are very high quality.
