About UK Shrimp
Welcome to UK Shrimp the United Kingdom’s dedicated online marketplace for freshwater shrimp and aquatic supplies. We are passionate about connecting shrimp enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professional breeders through a trusted platform where buying and selling freshwater shrimp is simple, secure, and community-focused.
Whether you’re setting up your first shrimp aquarium or expanding an established collection, UK Shrimp brings together quality livestock, specialist products, and expert knowledge in one place.
UK Shrimp was born from a passion for freshwater shrimp and a desire to create a marketplace dedicated exclusively to this growing hobby. While freshwater shrimp have become increasingly popular with aquarists across the UK, there has never been a single platform focused entirely on bringing together trusted breeders, sellers, and hobbyists.
Founded by a dedicated team of experts, including Colin and Natalie, our goal is to provide a marketplace where the shrimp-keeping community can connect with confidence, share knowledge, and access quality livestock from reputable UK-based sellers.
At UK Shrimp, our mission is built on four core pillars:
Our marketplace has been designed specifically for freshwater shrimp enthusiasts and features a diverse selection of products:
Neocaridina Shrimp: Popular varieties including Red Cherry, Blue Dream, Blue Velvet, and Orange Rili.
Caridina Shrimp: Specialist species such as Black Crystal, Red Crystal Bee, and Amano shrimp.
Shrimp Food & Nutrition: A comprehensive range of specialized diets to ensure healthy growth and vibrant colors.
Aquatic Plants & Supplies: Shrimp-safe plants, tanks, and specialized accessories for a thriving ecosystem.
Seller Marketplace: A platform hosting verified independent UK hobbyist breeders who manage their own professional packing and dispatch.
Niche Expertise: Dedicated exclusively to the unique needs of freshwater shrimp.
Verified Sellers: All listings are managed by UK-based hobbyists and breeders.
Secure Transactions: Integrated secure payment options and structured policies to protect our community.
Specialist Support: Dedicated assistance for account setup and general queries, typically resolved within one working day.
Physical Operations: We maintain a professional aquatic operation in Ayr, including specialized quarantine and breeding zones, to ensure excellence in the hobby.
As the UK shrimp-keeping community continues to grow, so does our commitment to providing the best possible marketplace. Following the success of UK Shrimp, we have expanded our vision to support the broader hobbyist community with the launch of UKTropicalFish.com.
We are continually developing new features, improving the customer experience, and supporting responsible shrimp keeping across the UK. Whether you’re buying your very first shrimp or expanding an established collection, UK Shrimp is here to help you every step of the way.
