How To Place An Order For Aquarium Shrimp
Ordering aquarium shrimp from Shrimp Hub is simple, and every step is designed to get healthy shrimp to your door safely. We’ve spent over 22 years in the hobby refining this process, so whether it’s your first order or your fifth, you’ll know exactly what to expect — from browsing our shrimp for sale through to tracked delivery on your doorstep.
Browse & Choose
Pick your shrimp grade from the shop — Red, Blue, or one of our mixed grades if you’re not fussy about colour. Every listing shows exactly what you’re getting before you buy, with clear photos and honest grading, so there’s no guesswork when you order aquarium shrimp from us. If you’re new to the hobby, our mixed grades are a great low-cost way to start a colony before choosing a specific colour line.
Check Your Address
Double-check your delivery address at checkout. Live shrimp can’t be redirected once they’re dispatched, so it’s on us both to get this right first time. If you spot a mistake shortly after ordering, get in touch as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to update it before your order is packed.
We Pack With Care
Every order goes out in an insulated box with breather bags and a heat or cool pack depending on the season, keeping shrimp at a stable temperature throughout transit. We also pack an extra 20% on top of every order to cover losses in transit — buy 10, receive 12. This means even in the unlikely event of a loss, your colony numbers are protected.
Tracked Delivery
Orders are sent Royal Mail Tracked 24, dispatched same-day if ordered before 12:00pm. You’ll get tracking the moment it leaves us, so you know exactly when to expect your shrimp and can be home to receive them — important for live animal deliveries.
Why Order Aquarium Shrimp From Shrimp Hub?
With over 22 years in the hobby, we know exactly what makes healthy, vibrant shrimp — and we only sell stock we’d happily keep ourselves. Every order is hand-graded, carefully packed, and backed by genuine aftercare advice if you need it. We’re not a large-scale wholesaler; every batch is checked by eye before it’s listed, so what you see is what arrives.
