Blue Velvet Shrimp - 8 Pack

All the shrimp arrived safe and sound, the shipping time was very fast, the color of the shrimp was vibrant even with the stress of the travel and they all seem to be in perfect health! They were darting all around the bag when I opened it, 8 shrimp, as ordered, all alive. I am VERY pleased with how this transaction went. You always expect a casualty or two when dealing with live aquatic animal purchases but not this time! Also, side note, the shrimp were the perfect age. They weren’t brand new tiny babies (too fragile) and they weren’t full grown adults either, which is good since their natural life span is only a handful of years anyway. I am very happy with this purchase

Perfect! I have ordered three times from this distributor; all arrived active and in great health. Remember fishes will eat anything that will fit in their mouths. My first attempt was in a heavily planted, 10 gal. tank with a goldfish and black moor...they ate all but one. My second attempt was in a 20 gal tank, also heavily planted with no other fishes. They are thriving! In just a few months I've seen 5 pregnancies go to term and now have a wonderful array of shrimplets of all ages. Bear in mind, these shrimps are resilient but still need proper temp, food and water changes to flourish. I felt the need to run a pre-filter around my filter intake. I'm pretty sure I lost a brood of shrimplets to being sucked into the filter. Very fun to watch the shrimps do work.

These little guys came in all well and accounted for! They even sent extras to cover any that were possibly DOA. Thankfully they all made it! We love them and they’re so beautiful!

They arrived a few days early. Packaged well except the bags leaking a little.1 was DOA, looks like it tried to molt in the bag. The largest (female) is a chocolate shrimp which I understand can happen, but I would rather have all blue. The shrimp are very pretty though, and seem to be acclimating well. Its not a bad price for 8 shrimp. We'll see how things turn out once they are added to the tank. Overall I'm happy with them *update: I put them in the tank and they seem to be adjusting well, also I realized the chocolate one is berried with a few eggs which is a happy surprise. I'm happy with the purchase

Only got 7. Picture is of the one that wasn't really blue like the rest. Kind of blue with 3 black stripes. Suspect a hybrid that got in there somehow. The 6 are very blue and dark/solid color. Very nice. Half of them were on the small side and had to be put in a grow tank, the other 4 were big enough to not get sucked into the filter. There was no heat pack even though they were shipped into sub-zero temperatures, but none died at 52 degrees. All healthy and active

All my shrimp arrived today alive and well, they were in transit for three days and did just fine. The color assortment was wild! No two are alike and two weren't blue at all, I got: white and blue, white and brown, blue and black, grey blue aqua blue and....orange! I deducted a star off my rating because of the brown ones... but honestly I love that they are all unique and I can tell them apart. I'm very happy with my shrimp, and they seem quite happy in their new aquarium 💙 UPDATE: I'm adding a star back because the shrimps colors are still changing, the orange shrimp went from orange to brown to almost sapphire/ black, the white and brown shrimp is now blue and brown. These guys are fascinating and the price was really good.its been 24 hours and they are all doing excellent.

For some reason all my shrimped died in one day I don't know why they did but I already had a neocaridina that I got from Petco that was in the tank for a month and is still alive, the tank has live plants and every thing for them. Once I got them I put the bag in the tank and let them acclimate for 15 min and was acting fine , but at the end of the day they stopped moving but was alive. The next day I woke up and found them dead and pink.

The shrimp arrived alive and healthy. Their bag was wrapped in paper towels, and when I opened it, it smelled like strong cat urine and was damp. Granted the towels caught some leaking and did its job. I placed 2 of these shrimp in a 20 gallon tank and 6 in a 40 gallon tank. Since then I've only seen 1 while suctioning the gravel, when he took a ride into the tube - was under a leaf. Otherwise I don't know if they're alive and hiding, or passed. Disappointed not to see their beautiful flashes of color in my tanks! They were acclimated well before adding to the tanks. I had to move some rosey barbs and platys around to make my tanks safer, I thought they ate them all. When I removed them, I started seeing a couple cherry shrimp, and one day I saw 2 blue ones - the cherries had grown bigger, the 2 blues were still small. Unfortunately as I was watching, a black skirt tetra also saw one and gulped it fast. Grrr, that was an expensive bite. Next day 2 grandchildren were watching and saw a blue one, and gulp, a white skirt got it. Oh boy... I've moved 2 larger cherries over to what will soon be a mystery snail tank, waiting for a clutch to hatch. Saw another blue in my 40 gallon and happy to say he's big enough to stay safe. Will order more but will keep them in a small tank til they grow. I probably have a total of 8 from the 20 I bought and released in 2 tanks.
