Amano Shrimp
Live arrival guaranteed · Quarantined in Vancouver · Ships Monday–Wednesday
Caridina multidentata — the Amano shrimp, the aquarium industry's standard algae crew for over thirty years.
Every planted-tank customer needs Amanos and every store needs them in stock — this is the highest-rotation invertebrate in freshwater retail. We supply robust M-size animals (2.2–2.8 cm), large enough to survive community tanks and small enough to leave growth on the table for the customer.

Every shipment leaves alive and packed for Canadian conditions. If any animal arrives dead, report it within 12 hours with photos of the unopened bags and we credit the full wholesale value — no arguments, no minimums. Read the full guarantee.
Shipping & Quarantine
Double-bagged with oxygen, thermally insulated, and seasonally heat- or cold-packed — rated for 72+ hours in transit. Orders ship Monday to Wednesday so livestock never sits in a weekend courier depot. Every animal clears quarantine at our shrimp-only Vancouver facility before dispatch: no fish, no plants, no shared water.
