Live Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp - Neocaridina (Painted Fire Red, 10 Pack)

i think the mailman was attempting murder by putting them in the mailbox, which is so far from our house we have to drive to it before our stuff gets cooked in the metal oven under the sun- despite me putting instrcutions for them to be at the front door but i was prepared and watched the shipment as soon as i saw it was coming today and we drove down there as soon as we saw it was wrongly put there again. evil mail deliver-er aside im ecstatic that the first live animal ive ever ordered instead of shopping locally came alive, and my mother whos a senior and very new to this hobby ive taken on was happy too, she even thinks theyre beautiful when shes compared every other shrimp i have to bugs! even though theyre the wrong shade of blue i hope they might make some cool mixtures with the male and female yellows i have in there with them.

I ordered 10 Blue velvets in November. They all arrived alive and in good condition. There were a couple of extras. I did a slow acclimation over a few hours. All the shrimp acclimated and did well being introduced into the tank. I lost one the first week but everyone else has been good since. They are not breeding size yet so I can’t report there but they are a beautiful blue color. I would highly recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: We have never ordered live shrimp over the internet before so this was a bit of a gamble, but their shrimp are almost half the price as our local fish store, so we took the shot. Shrimps all arrived alive, the box they came in was insulated and packed very well. All of the shrimps have wonderful coloring and are in excellent health. We even got a small bonus as one of the shrimps was berried and now we have 10+ tiny baby shrimps in addition to the 10 we purchased.

Beautiful little shrimps, arrived on time and were packaged very well. I was a little worried when I opened the box because they were all a muddy brick redish brown color but I figured it was from shipping stress and it was, they colored up almost immediately after being added to my tank. I'm not entirely convinced that they are all Bloody Marys though, a few of them are quite opaque and look more like Painted Fire Reds. At first I assumed this may be because they were about to molt but it's been a week now and most have molted and there are still a few opaque ones. Also there are a few with white legs and whiskers... take this with a grain of salt since I'm new to Bloody Marys but I was led to believe (by the internet not the seller) that true Bloody Mary shrimp would be entirely red with red legs/whiskers as well since it's their flesh that is colored not their shells. Either way I am not at all disappointed, they are healthy and busy and extremely bright red. The seller was quick to respond to questions and highly recommended on various shrimp and fish forums. One thing that really surprised me is that these little shrimp are absolutely fearless, I have them in with some nano fish who were very curious about their new tank mates and the shrimp didn't even seem to notice them, just continued happily munching away on the moss and driftwood. All photos are unedited but were taken with a samsung galaxy note 5 which does tend to adjust contrast/saturation a tiny bit. The lighting changes depending on time of day so some photos have a sunrise/red tint to them, sorry!

These are nice shrimp. Not quite painted fire grade I’d say fire red, but great coloring just speckled legs on most (including females) They’ve been in the tank for about a week or two now and most have been doing great. I got three berried mothers which was exciting, sadly they are the only three that have since died.. I tried to make a diy egg tumbler for the second mother but it failed.. purchased one on eBay that is shipping from japan, and got another larger one from the lfs to have just in case. Unluckily my last berried female was belly up when I got home.. eggs where still colored, so I popped them in the tumbler (removing shrimp eggs is not easy!) they are in the tumbler now in hopes that the stress of shipping while pregnant just over stressed them and it took a week to take its toll.. I use remineralized ro water to 250 tds all parameters are good from test strips and api kit. So just hoping this will be the end of deaths.. the other females are starting to saddle so we will see soon enough. I’d also like to add the moss packs that they sell are some of the nicest I’ve seen. Super clean, bright and generous. Overall I would order from these guys again. The shrimp are gorgeous and I appreciated that he held off on shipping until a Monday.

The shrimp came and I got 11! No DOAs and hoping they all stay healthy! Color is amazing they’re all such a beautiful deep blue, and they all started grazing immediately! I checked them all before I added them into the tank and I didn’t see any parasite on them, I hope I didn’t miss any, as of now I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend SoShrimp! EDIT: At minimum three have had leeches attached to them, lowering by two stars because they were easy enough to remove manually, and now one has died. Just keep this in mind when ordering.

The box arrived on time. I was worried suck a small box. But it was well insulated. The bag, they were in, was nice and warm. I cannot be more happier... all 10 arrived... alive and energetic. I have safely transitioned them into a small bowl, for the time being, until I finish my patio pond. Which will take me a week or so... but for now I have house pets. I did not expect them to b so tiny. They are adorbs... I can't wait to watch them grow and reproduce.
