Introducing our Lemon Yellow Amano Shrimp (Caridina japonica "Lemon"), a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. These shrimp are celebrated for their vibrant yellow coloration and exceptional hardiness, making them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquarists. Like their traditional counterparts, Lemon Yellow Amano Shrimp were originally recognized as Caridina japonica, later reclassified as Caridina multidentata in 2006. Native to the biodiverse waters of Taiwan, these shrimp add a unique splash of color to your tank while performing vital ecological roles. In the wild, Lemon Yellow Amano Shrimp are diligent algae eaters and detritus feeders, contributing to a balanced aquatic environment. Bred and raised with care, our Lemon Yellow Amano Shrimp embody the resilience and vivid beauty of their Taiwanese origins, making them a must-have for any aquarium enthusiast.

Shipping Schedule for this service
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.
