I'm looking for recommendations for neocaridina retailers. I'd like to order them at the end of October, and have them shipped to Asheville NC.

Any recommendations?

Great customer service and free shipping, imported stock


Benefit of homebred versus imported shrimp is you have a lower chance of getting vorticella or other fungal infections downside is they're almost always shipped as small juveniles rather than adults, which can vanish into your tank for quite a while

I've already mentioned this to Phish Tank, but I'll also add Cluckin' Shrimp to that list. They're in Smithville, MO (KC area). He's another home breeder and has a great selection of colors. That's where my orange sunkist came from and any more Neo's I get will come from him.

Edit to add: A response from Cluckin Shrimp regarding their water parameters; "My tanks run 7.2-7.6ph 5kh and 8-9gh. Pure tap water. I do have a couple stratum substrate tanks that run 6.6ish ph and 3kh - 6-7gh."

You can message him on etsy but I don't think he lists any live stock there, just his aquarium related 3d printed accessories. I'm sure he'll work with you directly though.

Shrimpenvy is literally prolly 2 hrs away from you. Their caridinas are good. Never bought neocaridina from them.

In terms of coloration, buypetshrimp has the most intense orange and yellow neocaridina that I've ever bought. On expensive side though. Those shrimp also will not tend to be as hardy as the muttier neos though so be aware.

Hijack

Buypetshrimp gave me shrimp with vorticella. Said would discount next order. Just a warning...

Bluecrown did something similar I forget what it was but gave me a full refund

On bandapp ordering from cane trinh on overnight shipping a high rate doa. He reshipped but shrimp never bred for me.

So here's the hijack
Who knows a really good source for blue carbon rillis? Black and blue midsection

Ive had nothing but bad luck for neocardina sellers but very good luck with caridina sellers.

what are you looking for? red or other colors?

The Ocean Blue Neo's I purchased from Erik Lucas (BuyPetShrimp) were excellent quality, and in excellent health. I had a previous negative experience with imported stock, and the difference in quality and health in Erik's shrimp was notable. He is a respected breeder, and international judge, and was recommended to me after I had a negative experience with another vendor. I will be purchasing from Erik again when I stock my Sensei Stone tank.

what are you looking for? red or other colors?

I’m easy, reds would be great. Not looking for expensive exotic. For me the big thing I’m looking for is hardiness, adaptability to my water parms: gh 8, kh 3, and medium co2.

And I’m looking at it not be from Buce Plant. They shipped me 20 shrimp with zero insulation and the water they shipped in had a GH of 23!

@mrmoss it’s not really hijacking if you’re asking where to buy shrimp. Hope you find a good seller
