The WORST store I’ve ever dealt with!!!!! All plants I bought from them died. Fish I bought from them also died... These guys seriously need to be checked... Most of their fish are wild caught and they never even quarantine/medicate their fish. The owner himself told me that they do not medicate fish “unless they are showing signs”... and all those signs will spark once you get your fish. If you do buy anything from them, make sure you have medications on hand and quarantine ANYTHING (even plants) you purchase from them. Either way you should always quarantine your new fish... but ESPECIALLY from this place! Costumer service is at it's lowest that it can be! They are ULTRA cheap and will hold on to every penny. They do sell sick fish... BE WARE! Even if they know that everything that was wrong with your fish is their fault, they will deny it and will make up the ODDEST reasons to blame everything on you. Don’t even dream of a refund. I would NEVER buy anything from this store and would avoid them at all costs for your own good, and for the good of your fish. TERRIBLE! Despicable... nothing more to say. I wish I could give them 0 stars, they really don't even deserve 1 star at all! Ps. Reading the negative reviews here on google and seeing how many likes every negative review gets... really makes you question the honesty of all those 5 star reviews ....

This store is such a warm and comfortable place, the owner has two dogs that will come greet you as you enter the store and will follow you around, they are absolutely adorable!!! And their selections of fish, and shrimp and all sorts of aquatic species are amazing! I highly recommend this place because they are also very knowledgable. Definitely go to your local aquarium stores and support them! Will definitely return.

100% Awesome! This store is amazing and the quality of the shrimp are A+++, super healthy and I've fallen in love with these little crustaceans for my tanks. Tommy and Esther are always happy to answer any questions. While my experience has been primarily mail order, shrimp packing and products, has been impeccable. I finally got to visit the new store and it's worth the trip - tanks are spotless. PS. Pics are of my shrimps and plants from ShrimpFever.

I received fish with ich! I have 14 aquariums and have been fortunate not to have had ich until now. Purchased least raspboras for my shrimp only tank. It was clear right away fish were sick. Contacted shrimp fever they responded with ich is present in every aquarium and offered to sell me medication. I provided photos of fish. They responded with we don't sell sick fish. They acknowledged the fish have ich, but they weren't sick when shipped. 1 day shipping and 1 fish completely covered in spots when received. I have spent many hundreds of $ on livestock with this company. This isn't the first issue I have had with them but it will definitely be the last. RESPONSE TO SHRIMP FEVER REPLY. You must have me confused with someone else. I never received DOA shrimp. As for shipping I live an hour away and receive shipment next day. Paying more $ for shipping will not get it here any faster so just an excuse to charge more $. For how covered fish was in spots when received, it was clearly sick before shipping. You claim to have offered replacement with next order if I paid more for shipping? That was months ago when I received a DOA fish. Nothing was offered regarding this shipment other than to sell me meds. The extra for shipping for what purpose. Same amount of time in transit. Other issues it didn't bother to bring to your attention because I knew you would do nothing about it. 3 hillstream loach in a tiny bag. As you must know they require a lot of oxygen. 2 out of the 3 died within 12 hours, the other has recovered and is doing fine. I felt I needed to bring the rasboras to your attention because I'm sure the rest of your tank is infected. Your response was immediately defensive. If that is how you would like to treat your good paying customers, then you should expect a bad review. Other fish keepers have a right to know how you conduct yourselves. You offered me nothing for this shipment, why lie about that? Dear Tommy. Did you take the time to read email correspondence between Esther and I before you posted a response? I didn't require assistance in diagnosis of fish. I communicated I received fish with ich to which she responded we don't ship sick fish. I've not had to deal with ich, but am aware of what it is. She didn't have to explain it. I did not refuse to treat fish? I asked what she would recommend in shrimp tank. I simply said I would purchase meds locally which I did. What has upset me about this was the the reaction to my communication regarding receiving fish with advanced ich. The defensive response to not shipping sick fish and how ich is always present etc. The response I would have expected is I'm sorry that has happened, and thanks for bringing this to our attention. Perhaps a recommend treatment in shrimp tank. An offer to replace any losses. Also the untrue statements made here have frustrated me to no end. You are correct, I was not aware higher shipping rate would provide larger box and more water. Esther didn't take the time to mention that when I said I didn't see the logic due to same transit time. That information would have likely changed my shipping option. I did not say hillstream loaches were DOA. I Said 2 died within 12 hours. Perhaps someone could have mentioned my order was pushing the limits. I don't ship fish, so that would be up to you to communicate. Why communicate this to you? Your policy is clear as you stated. The shipping option was a 1 time conversation months ago regarding a DOA fish. Never came up again thoughout my many orders. If a customer tells you they received fish with ich. Maybe don't blame the customer. It comes down to accountability and mutual respect.

Fantastic place! Very informative staff, animals are in great health, large selection of plants, and better prices than the average pet store. This place is worth the trip.

I ordered online from them and they were very helpful. I ordered decorations for my tank and a couple of crayfish. I reached out to them to add on to my order and they were very accommodating and helpful. I had next day delivery from Fedex, and they took their sweet time delivering. All the while Esther from Shrimp Fever was extremely helpful and empathetic. They also very knowledgeable. I will definitely order from them again.

Very clean and welcoming place. Their staff are very friendly and helpful. Tommy helped my bf and I choose what's best for our aquarium. He gave us tips and recommendations on how we can keep our aquarium clean and happy. He is a very knowledgeable. I definately recommend this place for any aquarium enthusiast or newbies like us!

We arrived 15 minutes before the place opened and didn’t realize they opened at 12. They still let us in and I was immediately fascinated by how beautiful the store was. The fish are extremely healthy and well kept (I did not see a single dead fish) and the costs are very close to big chain pet stores. I definitely will pay more for the good quality and healthy fish. Everyone was so kind and the dog was adorable! The fish are gorgeous! Best aquarium store I’ve ever been to. They definitely won a customer!

These negative reviews are nonsense. I knew nothing about shrimp as pet, but Tommy had the info I needed. They also helped me navigate the tedious and costly process of importing live animals into the United States. For sure, if you are in their neck of the woods, give them a try. Shrimp Fever has been around for years, and I don’t see any reason why they would be going away anytime soon. Thanks for your information and assistance 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

ShrimpFever is my new favourite fish store. They sell lots of high quality shrimp, fish, snails, plants, and more. We got pumpkin shrimp, red cherries, otocinclus and a variety of plants. All are thriving and healthy! I highly recommend checking it out if you have the chance

Just dropping by :) Have been visiting for many years. Great store, Tommy is straight to the point, which is a GOOD thing. If you want an owner who sugarcoats things, this is not the store for you. I have spent literally THOUSANDS of dollars here, both on livestock and dried goods. Never had an issue that couldn't be resolved via simple communication (and issues are extremely rare to begin with). Go support them! B

Placed an order for some shrimp and some plants a while back. Everything arrived quickly, alive and in great condition. The communication about the shipment was quick, clear and professional. The packing material is extremely dusty though, it got everywhere and there was alot of small dusty particles in the air despite trying to remove everything as gingerly as possible. That's the only thing i would consider a negative if anything but definitely not enough to deter me from making any future purchases. All in all, very very satisfied. Thanks ShrimpFever!

My new favourite one-stop shop for everything Shrimp related. Wonderful little store, very clean, organized, staff are friendly. Fish and Shrimp are kept well, I've bought several different species from here. They have all been healthy, happy and I've had no complaints! Highly recommend stopping in here. They often have some good deals on as well! Now all they need is a loyalty card 😅

These guys mailed me a bunch of Pangio doriae. They all arrived alive and had 0 health issues. No deaths several weeks after buying & no health problems during quarantine. The quality of packing really gave me a lot more confidence to order fish online. Thrilled to have a big shoal of them, will absolutely order from here again if I need to get a not-so-common fish. They were also super patient with my barrage of anxiety riddled questions. Absolutely the best!

I’m all the way in Vancouver and decided to order a platinum white betta from Shrimp Fever. He was shipped when weather was pretty rough, and arrived in -1 weather. Though, he was packaged incredibly well (heat packs, well insulated box.) Since having him for several weeks now, he’s been doing great. He’s very healthy, and extremely active, almost like he never went through any shipping stress. Also, customer support from the team was fantastic. Thanks, very happy with my betta. Highly recommend, and I no doubt will be ordering again in the future.

Drove over an hour to visit this *shrimp haven*. Amazing and comprehensive selection and the people working there are very tentative without being pushy. If you are a shrimp keeper or looking to get into the hobby, Shrimp Fever is the place to go! They have a wide range of beginner level shrimp, to very expensive rare breeds. Tommy the gentleman who helped us was very knowledgeable in helping us with other issues like our staghorn algae problem. It is now being resolved as we speak. Thanks Shrimp Fever!

I live in BC the shipment was just amazing well packed and delivered in 48hours. Just speechless how they work perfectly. I ordered some fish and they told me they will send it next week due to the cold weather in BC. They know what they are doing and how to care for the fish and customer. Customer service is fantastic. Thank you

YES !!! 6☆ OUT OF 5.. made the 4+ plus hour round trip more than once just to go to this store. Every time has been an amazing experience! Everybody is so knowledgeable and friendly. By far the cleanest and healthiest aquarium store I've ever been in. Amazing selection of shrimp of course and some hard to find and unique nano fish.

I've been shopping at Shrimpfever for two years now, and my neos are totally fine and have basically taken over all my tanks, but honestly the reason I keep coming back is the neat rare nano fish they carry! The fact that their website is always up to date is a huge bonus, too. I've had no issues with quality or health, and the variety of livestock and plants available is absolutely worth the trek from west end for me. Updated with some new photos of the adorable Pseudomugil luminatus I got from here

This has been my go to aquarium store since I first started coming here 2 years ago. There has always been a great selection of fish, invertebrates and plants. Every so often I'll find a unique or rare species that I've only seen that they carry. Great staff and helpful with recommendations. Helpful inidentifying pros and cons of different species and their unique care. Will definately continue to come here and hope to see the new location when everything is back to normal again!

Absolutely phenomenal place for everything fish related. First, their live stock is always pristine. Second, while their store is small, they have the most varied species of shrimp in any store I’ve been in the GTA! And thirdly, they also carry all your planted aquarium needs, including 1-2 grow cups! If they don’t have a plant specific to what you want, they can normally order it, just let them know. I use to go to big als for all my stuff but now it’s exclusively shrimp fever! Thank you guys and I hope your store does well for years to come.

You are my new favourite store now, due to the pride clearly observed in the condition of the store, cleanliness, displays and variety of live stock. But the best part was the gentleman who helped me today during my first visit. What a wonderful person! He was very informative and was eager to answer all my questions patiently with a smile. I will be coming to you guys frequently from now on. Thank you!

Of the many orders I've placed with Tommy over the years, I've never had a fish or shrimp perish in shipping. Items are all packaged with care, and the livestock is healthy! I've had the kuhli loach for at least 3 years, and it's still alive and well.

Tommy and his colleagues are very patient to the customers, they have good knowledge too. The Cardinia Shrimps I bought are very healthy and the colors are very solid too, I go visit them almost every week.

Went to shrimp fever not knowing what to expect and I can’t believe how incredible this store is! Every type of shrimp I’ve ever heard of and SO MANY MORE than I even realized existed! Their team was super helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. They answered all my questions as someone new to the shrimp hobby. I was also really excited to see all of their dried botanicals as well since I have quite a few bettas and like to add almond leaves, elder cones etc. To their planted tanks. Anything you’d need to start up a shrimp tank is there and reasonably priced. I ended up leaving with some Bloody Mary shrimps and this gorgeous Koi betta that I couldn’t resist. I will be a return customer for sure.

I love this place. I’m on the west coast and we have some good options here sometimes but Shrimp Fever has a very thorough inventory on not only shrimp but also their fish inventory is super cool! The prices are unreal. But honestly the part I like best is they are the only aquatic site that I am familiar with that has a ‘show in stock only’ feature. It’s so simple to look at literally every item they sell. I can’t stand how most of our dealers post hundreds of species that they realistically maybe had in stock once if at all. These guys are legit.

Ordered two kinds of shrimp from them online delivered to Vancouver conveniently came in all looking really nice and well packed 👌

Been to this store twice so far and I will definitely be coming back again. The employees are polite and I was able to gain a lot of information on products, plants and aquarium maintenance. They were always there to help me when I needed to ask a question and never hesitated to give great tips to help me. 100% recommend this store and I will definitely be visiting this store in the future.

It was such a great experience shopping at Shrimpfever! Tommy and his team is so knowledgeable and provided great customer service throughout the whole process. From picking out the right tank to setting up the best environment for the shrimps and fishes. They ensure that all their livestock were 100% healthy! Definitely will be return soon again!

After my first shipment of amanos last month (all thriving & the best clean up crew!), I ordered & received my ember tetras this past week. Healthy and settling in beautifully. Great stock and Esther is a saint with my incessant questions! Wonderful knowledgeable staff. Would recommend to anyone and hoping one day to make an actual trip to the store itself! Thanks for all your help!

I’ve been waiting for the lockdown restriction to be lifted so I can visit their new store and wow it didn’t disappoint! I’ve bought some amanos shrimps and oto catfish. Best selection of shrimp in town, from regular cherry neos to super rare patterns of crystal shrimps. Amazing staff willing to answer all your questions! I will be back for sure.

Very helpful staff and good selection of shrimp and other assorted items..

Fish, shrimp and plants always arrive in Ottawa in the best condition. Meticulously packaged for any season. If I want to guarantee that my purchase will still be alive in two weeks, I buy from these guys. I've ordered fish and shrimp (and plants) several times now over the last year, and the fish are all still alive, which is more than I can say for some of my local stores. Best quality. Great shipping.

Great shop new location has more space. Lots of great rarities here things you won't find at the commercial stores. Checkout their website to see what they have in stock from fish, shrimp, snails, hardware, aquascaping materials. They even have been custom making plant ledges for plants.

Fantastic experience. Lots of different types of shrimp, crabs, and crayfish to choose from, along with hydrophillia options. Staff was experienced and helpful. They also had 3D printed pieces as well was natural wood pieces for your little pets to crawl on and around. Neat little place that helped me very well. Will be back!

From start to finish, the gentleman that helped me was beyond knowledgeable and friendly. I wouldn't recommend any other place than here to buy fresh water shrimp, snails, interesting fish, and crabs. I will absolutely be returning. Prices are fair especially for the service you receive. I highly recommend!

This place, indeed, is the Canada's number 1 shrimps place. Professional and content expert customer service and exceptional collection of any-shrimps-you-look-for inventory, any support product or and service is what you get in this store. This is a shrimps directory or a shrimps Wikipedia that you should not miss if you are a pet shrimps lover. They are in a convenient location please just pay one visit for see-for-yourself. I am sorry that I was this late to discover this gem of a place.

Amazing customer service inside. The tanks and animals all taken care of very well. 11/10 worth the drive.

Incredible experience! Took weather into consideration to ship during a warm period instead of letting all my fish/shrimp die. Will 100% buy from again.

Crabs came in good condition and shipping was fast as promised! Highly recommend

Best place to shop online for fish, shrimps and aquarium needs. The staff is amazing, they go out of their way to answer all your questions. The fish and shrimps I ordered were packed with care and all arrived healthy and in great shape. They have a really great selection and their well organized website makes it really fun to shop. Last but not least their prices are the best I found online. I highly recommend them.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, now my go-to aquarium store. They have interesting breeds/colourations of fish, and of course shrimp, a great range of aquatic plants and lots of dry equipment (food, chemicals, rocks etc).

I'm still quite a beginner when it comes to keeping shrimp, but my experience at shrimp fever has been wonderful every time. The sheer amount of different types of shrimp is very impressive. But its mostly how kind and helpful the staff is that will keep me as a returning customer. Always quick to offer help, and very knowledgeable, the staff is incredibly pleasant. I very much reccomend going to Shrimp Fever

I started coming here 2016 because of my curiosity with introducing shrimps into my fish tank. I love their selections shrimps, fish, aquarium accessories, plants and tank foods! They are the best!

I recently visited the shop. The collections were unique. Some I have never seen before in any aquarium shops in Toronto. We were helped by very kind gentleman named Frank who very patiently answered my questions and educated me and gave me lots of insight about the shrimp, crayfish, crabs and the plants.The price is reasonable. we really enjoyed our visit and will be visiting again.

I get my shrimp and fish supplies from this place. Great quality and rare items.

ShrimpFever has a great selection of shrimp and plants, and they're always good quality. Also some good fish, although that isn't their primary focus. My wife and I regularly drive 2+ hours to come here. We also did the same to pick up curbside orders during previous COVID shutdown. Online ordering is also a smooth process, and we have had good success with products shipped to us. The prices aren't cheap, but they are a fair price for a high quality product. I would, and often have, recommended this business to others.

So this was my first time ordering from Shrimp Fever and I want to give my honest review on how things went. Shrimp fever has a specialty in shrimp but I also noticed they have a pretty nice selection of nano fish that my LFS does not have. I ordered 12 green neon tetras, 10 pygmy cories and 10 Fire red Cherry Shrimp for my 20 gallon long. I selected the next day delivery because I'm about 5 hours away from where they are located and I wanted to make sure that all the fish and shrimp were in the bags for shortest time as possible. When I opened the package, there were a couple DOA shrimp but all the green neon tetras and cories were best quality I have seen. The DOA's i just contacted Tommy and he sorted it out for me since I got the next day delivery. My overall experience was really good. Tommy or whoever the staff that was on facebook with me were answering all my questions and they handled the DOA situation very well. My favourites from the order were the cories and the green neons which I find funny because they are called SHRIMP fever. Anyways I will order from them again sometime! Very very pleased!

The best store in Ontario (and beyond) to buy aquarium shrimp and other crustaceans, and everything related to these creatures. They also have a great selection of fish, aquariums, and aquarium equipment. Always great communication, and top-notch service!

The new location is awesome! The selection is so much bigger and full of happy, healthy again, fish, and plants. The employees really know their stuff and are super generous with their time and attention. We've been here a few times, my partner is a huge fan, and we've got nothing but love for shrimp fever!!

Very wide selection of and colour variations. Very healthy livestock, at fair prices. Most of the shrimp I get are usually breeding within a few weeks, I also purchased 2 assassin snails which have bred as well, 3 or 4 on my count (which I will be transferring to another nano once they grow a bit more) On top of livestock they also carry plants and supplements, I bought a pot of Bucephalandra which I was having difficulty finding elsewhere, the plant was very healthy. I live 30+ minutes away but will gladly drive to them for any shrimp/invert needs.
