Play with the app, identify shrimp, and report issues—it’s that simple!

I’m the developer of ShrimpID, and shrimp identification is one of the features I wanted to build from the start.

It is meant to help narrow down freshwater shrimp varieties from a photo, especially when you are trying to figure out what you have, label a tank, or keep track of different lines. It is not meant to replace your own judgment, especially with higher-end Caridina where pattern, color, age, and lineage can make a big difference.

It is still growing, and the shrimp identification and counting features will become more accurate over time as I add more reference content and continue improving the system.

For transparency, ShrimpID has a free Hobbyist tier, with optional paid plans for larger setups and breeder-focused tools.

Would you use something like this? And what would make an identification result useful enough for you to trust or double-check it?

I've been keeping and breeding freshwater shrimp for a while, and once I had more than a few tanks, keeping track of everything started getting messy. Water logs were in one place, maintenance reminders in another, then tank labels, notes, and production records all ended up spread across different places. It worked, but it was not a great system.

As I started selling shrimp to LFSs and online, it became even harder to keep everything straight. That was when I decided to build something to organize it for myself.

About a year ago, I started building ShrimpID to bring that side of shrimpkeeping into one place. It includes tank and rack management, water and production logs, shrimp variety identification, catch-box shrimp counting, quick tank access via OCR, personal assistant, and a rack heat map that helps show which tanks may need immediate attention.

The clip here is from a local development build, so it may look a little less smooth than the version in the app.

ShrimpID is currently available in around 16 countries and is English-only for now. The Hobbyist tier is free, while paid plans are mainly for larger setups, farm tools, and advanced features.

I'm still improving it, so if you notice anything that could be better or have ideas for features that would actually make shrimpkeeping easier, I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback.

How are you currently keeping track of water parameters, maintenance, breeding records, and tank notes? Spreadsheets, notebooks, another app, or mostly memory?
