Available in a variety of colors—like cherry red, blue dream, yellow, and more—these shrimp add life and personality to any tank.

"Perfectly healthy shrimp in the exact dark green color expected. Fantastic experience ordering from start to finish and recommend. These are more adults than juveniles so make sure water parameters line up to avoid stress on shrimp. Easy acclimation and happy shrimp if following what is listed for stability in transition after transport. I’d buy again"

"Pretty good shipping (plastic breeder bag wrapped with many layers of newspaper, + more newspaper crumpled up to make sure it was cushioned), no DOA, boyfriend is very excited about the shrimp!...Overall very happy with the price! Seller was very helpful when I messaged with concerns about temperature."
(Ebay Buyer)
"I received healthy and frisky shrimp from this seller... AND... he/she sent EXTRA shrimp! They all breezed right through the acclimation and are busy exploring their new home. This was a terrific sale and experience and I'll likely order from this seller again. I encourage you to do the same. Excellent experience! P.S. Remember what it says in the listing description: These shrimp will likely "blanch" during the shipment. Mine began regaining color within 20 mins of being released."
