Snow Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata) - Elegant Aquatic Companions for Your Aquarium

Add a touch of refinement to your freshwater aquarium with our Snow Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata). Renowned for their pristine white coloration and engaging behavior, these shrimp are a captivating addition for both novice and seasoned aquarists. Notably, initially recognized as Caridina japonica, Caridina multidentata underwent a name change in 2006 following a comprehensive study. Contrary to the common belief that Amano shrimp can subsist solely on aquarium algae, this assumption is inaccurate. Our Snow Amano shrimp are specifically bred to showcase this striking coloration, ensuring a unique and visually stunning addition to your aquatic environment.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
