I'm looking for a good site to buy shrimp without breaking the bank. Any recommendations for reliable sellers with decent prices? Prefer Neocaridina but open to others.

I've had great luck with Flip Aquatics. Their shipping is solid, and they often have sales. Just got some Fire Red Cherries from them last month, all arrived healthy.

Flip Aquatics is legit, but if you want cheaper, try Aqua Huna. Prices are lower, but shipping can be hit or miss. Got some Blue Dreams from them, and they're thriving.

Aqua Huna's packaging is kinda sketchy though. Lost a few shrimp last time I ordered.

Anyone tried Shrimpy Business? Heard mixed reviews but their prices are tempting.

Shrimpy Business is okay if you're on a tight budget. Got some low-grade cherries from them, but they're alive, so can't complain too much.

For quality and affordability, I'd recommend The Shrimp Farm. Their customer service is top-notch, and they have a good selection of Neocaridina and Caridina.

The Shrimp Farm is pricey though. If you're just starting out, maybe go with Aqua Huna first to see if you even like keeping shrimp.

Second this. Their shipping is super reliable, and the shrimp are always healthy. Worth the extra few bucks.

Don't forget to check local breeders. Sometimes you can find better deals on Craigslist or Facebook groups, and you don't have to worry about shipping stress.
