Aquarium Cleaning Crew | Freshwater

Algae clean-up crews for freshwater aquariums help cut down on manual maintenance by eating normal algae growth. While it’s best to fix any underlying causes of excess algae, a balanced crew of cleaner fish, snails, and shrimp makes keeping your tank clear much easier.

All of our fish go through a 14+ day holding period with expert pretreatment and monitoring to ensure they arrive healthy. Our shrimp spend 30+ days in quarantine to guarantee they’re disease-free before shipping.

Fish Options (pick one group):

  • Panda Garra (2): Black-and-white striped grazers that scrape algae off rocks and glass.
  • Doctor Fish (Garra rufa) (3): Active nibblers that feed on soft algae. Closely related to Panda Garra in their algae control. 
  • Otocinclus (3): Small, gentle algae eaters best kept in groups to clear green spot and soft algae.
  • Siamese Algae Eaters (3): Larger fish that consume a wide range of algae without harming plants. Great for string algae or hair algae.

Snail Options:

  • Nerite Snails (3 or 6 pack): Hardy snails that eat film and string algae and won’t overpopulate in freshwater.

Shrimp Options:

  • Amano Shrimp (5 or 10 pack): Robust shrimp famous for devouring hair and soft algae. Grow large making them safe for community aquariums. 
  • 5 stars: 31 (82%)
  • 4 stars: 3 (8%)
  • 3 stars: 2 (5%)
  • 2 stars: 0 (0%)
  • 1 star: 2 (5%)

Fish great, shrimp ok, snails no good

The otocinclus and shrimp arrived alive and healthy. A few shrimp died over the next few days, but nothing unusual. The snail seemed alive on arrival, but after they were acclimated and added, they seemed to perish wherever they were initially placed. It was unfortunate, but snails don't seem to travel well.

DOA

It was 20° the day they delivered. The $10 insulated heated box was worthless. Like was nothing more than a box with some thin insulation and a hand warmer. Really?! I expected a styrofoam box at least. I won't waste any time on buying from them again

Great detail!

Wow. Amazing customer service and satisfaction. Shipping was quick, the packaging was perfect, my fish and shrimp were all healthy and still alive (I think all shrimp are, but I’ve only seen 4 of the 6). The 4 nerite snails did not make it unfortunately, I don’t know if it was the stress from shipping or my acclimation but they all 4 have passed. I can not say enough great things about flips though.

Healthy happy Otos and beautiful snails

We ordered Amano shrimp, oto cats, and some nertie snails. The amano shrimp arrived DOA but flip issued a refund immediately and made it right. We will be ordering shrimp again because the quality of the snails and otos has been unmatched. I waited two weeks to write a review because I was worried but these snails have the healthiest shells and the otocinclous cats arrived healthy and ready to eat. Overall very satisfied with your customer service and dedication to healthy happy fish and invertebrates. Looking forward to our next shrimp purchase.

Clean up crew is hard at work

The crew arrived alive and well, with an extra snail. They went to work as soon as the got in the tank. Very happy with my purchase

Reliable vendor

All of the shrimp, fish and snails arrived alive even though one of the bags had leaked and everything in the box was wet. Luckily, there was enough water still left in the bag for the shrimp to survive. It was a close one, but I will still order from you again if I am in need of more fish.

Perfect little crew!!

This was such a great package! They all arrived healthy and shipping was fast. They are all doing their job well to keep my tank clean. The Panda Garras have made an awesome addition to my tank, they are quite adorable and very active! Extremely happy with both my purchase and the customer service! Top notch!

Great Nerites Oh My!

Ordered three Red Racer Nerites to go in with 5 ghost shrimp and a male betta. The betta had never had any tank mates. I’d like to say all three plus the extra sent, Nerite are doing fabulous and are really making a difference in the tank! So grateful for Flip! I would definitely order again.

Great combo. Arrived healthy, active and ready for algae. Buy with confidence!!!

The clean up crew with Oto's arrived quick, very healthy and active. The Oto's were plump and nice sized, the Amano were all great with an extra one tossed in(thank you;) and the Nerite's were all alive, and very active with an additional one tossed in mas well(thank you;). My other fish, Ember Tetra's and Black Neon's were all in great shape as well, very active, healthy and their color started popping within a couple days after introduction to my quarantine tank. After water acclimation, the shrimp and snails were introduced to my main planted tank and WOW, the shrimp settled right in and started shrimping within a few mins. ALL the Nerite snails started snailing away as soon as they hit the tank, a true first for me lol. After 3 weeks of just the shrimp and snails the algae has very noticeably improved. Overall great experience. My first time purchasing from Flip and most certainly will be a repeat customer. Been watching your YT vids n live streams(balance that wheel...), learned of you from KD's vids.

Awesome

I love all of these. Amano shrimp are my favorite, the Panda Garra rock and the Nerite snail that lived is working hard. Unfortunately I lost 1 snail during drip acclimating and 1 two days later. I will replace during my next order. I don't blame Flip at all, I've never lost anything until now and I've had at least 10 shipments with them. A great deal for an awesome tank squad.

Awesome!

All the critters in my clean-up crew arrived in great shape. It did not take them long to clean up the aquariums they were placed in. Thank you!

So Happy with the little guys!

Every critter arrived happy and healthy. They adjusted well to the tank and got to work right away! Such a fun combo and boy do they do their job well! Definitely recommend.

Very healthy

My clean up crew arrived very health, everything is alive and thriving. My only concern is that the doctor fish I chose are more aggressive than I thought. I had to remove them and are thinking I will need to rehome.

First live fish order

I ordered the algae clean up crew and everyone arrived healthy and even came with an extra snail and extra shrimp! Definitely recommend! I actually already placed another order from flip aquatics for more fish, shrimp, and snails!!! I’m excited to get my next batch of little guys! Super happy with my order!
