The shrimp arrived quickly and looks healthy. It has been active in my 10-gallon tank for two months and adds a nice visual element. I appreciate the clear instructions on care and water parameters.
Neil Underwood –
I added a few to my community tank with neon tetras. They seem to coexist peacefully and are very active. The coloration is bright and stands out well in the water.

Easy to care for and very hardy. I’ve had one for over six months and it’s still thriving. The packaging was secure and the shrimp were in good condition upon arrival.
