From one countertop tank to a wall of colour.
Shrimps & Giggles is a small home shrimp room with a stubborn soft spot for vivid, healthy Neocaridina â and for the people setting up their very first colony.
How a countertop hobby got happily out of hand
- ðŦ
One tank on the counter
It started with a single 10-gallon of Red Cherries next to the toaster. We meant to keep ten. We kept counting past two hundred.
- ð
The patient culls
To keep colour true you have to choose. Season after season we bred only the boldest, deepest, most even shrimp back into each line.
- ðŋ
A whole planted wall
One tank became a rack, then a wall of low-tech planted colonies â moss, botanicals, and a lot of very content Neocaridina.

To your tank today
Now we pack them warm or cool, guarantee live arrival, and slip a real acclimation guide into every box that leaves the shrimp room.
What we won't compromise on
Bred, never caught
Every shrimp is born and raised in our tanks. Nothing is wild-collected, so wild populations stay exactly where they belong.
Colour you can count on
Careful line-breeding means the Blue Dream you buy today throws deep-blue babies tomorrow. Stable strains, generation after generation.
Healthy stock, honest advice
Quarantined shrimp, steady parameters, and straight answers. We would rather lose a sale than send a shrimp that is not ready.
Care at a glance
Neocaridina are famously forgiving. Give them a cycled, planted tank and steady water, and they will graze, breed, and giggle along happily. Every order ships with a full acclimation and care sheet.
