Ayr Aquatics
Freshwater Shrimp & Snails — Bred in Ayrshire, Scotland
Ayr Aquatics is a specialist freshwater shrimp and snail breeder based in Ayr, Scotland.
We focus on healthy, colourful, tank-bred livestock raised in our dedicated aquatics facility. Our aim is simple: to produce strong, healthy shrimp and snails that are ready to thrive in their new aquariums.
Our range includes a growing selection of Neocaridina shrimp, including Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange and Green varieties, alongside a selection of useful and interesting freshwater snails.
All livestock is carefully raised in established aquariums and selected before dispatch. Orders are securely packed for safe delivery throughout the UK.
Whether you’re starting your first shrimp colony, adding colour to an established aquarium or looking for a natural clean-up crew, Ayr Aquatics has you covered.

Buy Amano Shrimp in the UK
Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) are the most effective algae eater in the hobby — larger than Neocaridina at 4–5cm, and relentless on hair algae and leftover food. Named after Takashi Amano, who popularised them in planted aquascaping.
They are far more tolerant than other Caridina: pH 6.5–7.5, GH 6–10, and comfortable anywhere from 18–27°C. They will not breed in a freshwater tank, as the larvae require brackish water to develop — so populations stay exactly where you set them.
Worth noting they are bold feeders and will out-compete smaller shrimp at feeding time. Buy UK-bred or UK-acclimated stock rather than freshly imported, which often arrives in poor condition.
