Our Mission

At Aqua Atomic, our passion for aquatics drives us to offer top-quality freshwater species and plants. We focus on:​

• Freshwater Shrimp: Including Neocaridina, Caridina, Sulawesi, and Amano varieties.

• Aquatic Plants: Providing submersed-grown plants for easy tank integration.​​

Why Choose Aqua Atomic?

Expertly Quarantined Aquatic Life

We prioritize the health of our aquatic species. All imported fish and shrimp undergo a minimum three-week quarantine.This process ensures they acclimate properly, reducing stress and mortality rates. We treat fish with medicated flakes and, when necessary, use Paraguard to maintain optimal health.​

Submersed-Grown Aquatic Plants

Unlike many retailers, we primarily grow our aquatic plants fully submerged. This method ensures:

• Easier transition into your aquarium

• Reduced melting and acclimation time

• Healthier, more robust plant growth
   

Occasionally, we offer emersed-grown plants—particularly for propagation or when stocking rare species. However, every emersed plant is transitioned underwater for a minimum of three weeks in our tanks before being made available. To maintain full transparency, we clearly note in each product listing if a plant was originally grown emersed, so you’ll always know what to expect and how to best care for it.
