About Us

Our small online shop is based on a hobby breeding project that we have been passionately running since 2019. We offer a wide range of Neocaridina dwarf shrimp, from well-established color varieties to our own selectively bred lines.

Our main focus is on introducing the orange-eye (OE) trait into different Neocaridina color varieties (learn more here). Many of these breeding lines are already available in our shop, although not all of them have reached a level of stability suitable for sale. Since we breed all shrimp ourselves, some lines may occasionally be out of stock.

Over the years, our breeding efforts have also been recognized through participation in international shrimp competitions such as The German International Shrimp Contest (TGISC) and the International Shrimp Contest Italy (ISCI). Here is a brief overview of our achievements:
