What our customers say
Hundreds of happy hobbyists across the UK.
“I would highly recommend! Have placed two orders so far and I can't speak highly enough of the help we were given. Also step by step with delivery and the extra goods, the shrimp and all products are in excellent condition! The TikTok lives are so helpful and entertaining to watch! Will definitely be placing another order!!”
“Ordered from Somerset Shrimp Shack, a mixture of shrimp, plants, botanicals and accessories. Shrimp were kept warm with a heat pack. Packaging was excellent, and shrimp were safe. Communication with the owner is good. Will definitely buy from here again… hopefully very soon!”
“The order process was easy. The shrimp and botanicals arrived promptly. Communication was excellent. The shrimp all arrived alive and were very well packed, even had a heat pad to keep them warm. There were also a couple of gifts in the package. I was very impressed with the quality of the shrimp. Overall it was an excellent experience from start to end. I highly recommend and will definitely be using again.”
Why buy from Somerset Shrimp Shack?
We are not a generic livestock retailer. We are a specialist freshwater shrimp breeder — meaning the animals we sell are raised by us, in carefully controlled environments, to ensure they are healthy, correctly coloured, and ready to thrive in your tank.
In-house breeding
The majority of our shrimp are bred at our Somerset facility — not bought in from middlemen.
Quality selection
We only sell animals we'd be happy to keep ourselves. If something isn't right, it doesn't get listed.
Specialist knowledge
We keep and breed these animals ourselves. Our care guides reflect real experience, not copied information.
Live arrival guarantee
Every livestock order is guaranteed to arrive alive and healthy, or we will make it right.
