The keeper behind the shop
Food for shrimp. Experience from real tanks.
I’m Richard James, the keeper behind ShrimpKeeper.co.uk. I’ve kept and bred freshwater shrimp for around 20 years, and I use the foods sold here in my own tanks.

A shop built around shrimpkeeping
ShrimpKeeper brings together the foods, aquarium supplies and practical guidance that help you make decisions for your own colony. The aim is to make the differences between products clear, so you can choose what fits your tank.
Why the feeding advice matters
The foods sold here are tested and used in my own tanks before I offer them to other keepers. Our guides explain ingredients, feeding formats and portion choices, alongside the need to check leftovers and maintain suitable water conditions.
Every tank is different. A food is one part of shrimp care, alongside water chemistry, stable conditions and the grazing already available in the aquarium.
