Shrimp for Planted Tanks

Shrimp for Planted Tanks in Canada

Freshwater shrimp are some of the most useful and rewarding animals to keep in a planted aquarium. In stable, established tanks, they actively graze on algae, biofilm, and leftover organic matter while adding movement and life to aquascapes, nano tanks, and peaceful community setups.

Popular planted tank shrimp include Amano shrimp, hardy Neocaridina shrimp such as Cherry Shrimp and Blue Dream Shrimp, and more specialized Caridina shrimp such as Crystal Red Shrimp. Amano shrimp are especially valued for algae control, while Neocaridina shrimp are often preferred for their adaptability and strong colony potential.

At Topick Aquarium, shrimp are selected and stabilized with careful holding practices before sale. Our focus is on healthy shrimp that are suitable for planted aquariums, long-term colony growth, and high-quality aquascaping displays.
