Food developed by a shrimp keeper, not a marketing department

Hi, I’m Richard. I’ve kept and bred freshwater shrimp for around 20 years. I’m also the creator of the Shrimp Keeping Answers YouTube channel and the author of The Neocaridina Shrimp Handbook.

Every food sold here is tested and used in my own tanks before I offer it to other shrimp keepers.

What makes ShrimpKeeper.co.uk different from other sellers?

We don’t import our shrimp or snails — we breed every one of them right here in-house with care, patience, and experience. Our plants are also grown locally, not mass-produced, and every product we sell has been tested in our own tanks before we ever list it for sale. We’re hobbyists first, sellers second.
