NEOCARIDINA (FIre Red, Blue Dream, Yellow Golden Back, Orange Sunkist etc.

I wanted to address some of the other reviewers negative comments. Firstly, these are small neocaridina shrimp, they and their offspring are going to be at risk of being eaten by any fish except maybe otos and do best in a tank to themselves. I was sent a good assortment of juveniles and adults. Juveniles, while small, adapt better to new water conditions. Secondly, tank conditions are so important here. Neos are very sensitive to changes in temperature, water value, ammonia and other waste. They are grazers and will want lots of live plants, algae and decaying matter to pick at. They also need drip acclimation, for hours to avoid shock. They very likely will be shocked if only floated and poured straight from the bag. Spend some time on Reddit and the internet and learn how to care for these living creatures before ordering. That said- I got a great assortment- two deep red Bloody Mary style, two yellow, two Sunkist style, four blue dream, two chocolate and one jade. Some adult, some juvenile. They all arrived intact and alive with some netting for shipping. No extras, but I am an established keeper and didn’t need the samples. Proceed with some reservation depending on your aquarium and fishkeeping experience. Update- 1/19/24 I still have all the shrimp, they are healthy and thriving and now see several berried females. Complements on the colors, many are solid through the legs. Although I know they will revert to wild type after a few generations but I am interested to the combos in the meantime.

These shrimp are fantastic. I purchased them back in 2024. Still going strong, reproducing heavily. I just purchased a set from a different seller. Horrible experience all died, they sent less than they were supposed to. Im going to repurchase from this seller, I don't know what I was thinking going elsewhere.

I couldn’t be happier with my shrimp order! From the moment the package arrived, it was clear the seller went above and beyond. The shrimp were packaged with care and securely to ensure their safe journey. The shrimp themselves are stunning! Their colors are even more vibrant in person, adding a lively pop to my aquarium. What really impressed me was the thoughtful inclusion of extra shrimp to account for any potential losses during transit. Sadly, a few didn’t make it (as expected with live shipments), but the extras ensured I still had a healthy group. But here’s the magic, Some of the shrimp actually had babies en route! I was thrilled to discover tiny, adorable fry swimming around, it felt like a bonus gift! This speaks volumes about the quality and care taken in selecting healthy, active shrimp. If you’re hesitating, don’t! This seller is clearly passionate about their product and customers. 5 stars all the way! Thank you for a wonderful experience and the unexpected shrimp nursery! 🎉

All 22 shrimp arrived alive and healthy! They were wrapped in double insulated bubble wrap. Lovely mix of Neos! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the shrimp came with a few bladder snails! Luckily my tank is already full of them, but for those buying for the first time, be aware of these snails- once you get them in your tank, they will breed endlessly.

I am so impressed with this order. Better than expected. I was nervous having them shipped given I live in Florida and it has been very hot however they did great and the water was kept at an ideal temperature. One shrimp did die during shipping however neocaridina are very sensitive to stress and change so this can happen. However, I did reach out to the seller and they did give a partial refund so I am very happy. Other than that, the shrimp were in good condition, all healthy, and now more than 2 weeks later are all still alive and thriving. There was a nice variety of colors and all an ideal size. Neocaridina shrimp require you drip acclimate them slowly. They can die if this is not done, I saw many reviews saying they died shortly after being added to the tank and this is likely the cause. Be sure you have an established cycled tank and slowly acclimate them to ensure they do well.

Received a nice selection of colors, not sure how many were alive or dead. They were so tiny. As of one week after receiving only 3 are alive.

Only one doa. They are a beautiful variety and 2 came with eggs! They have acclimated to the tank just fine and are happy and healthy! No smell.

These arrived with only one visibly dead. They came in hungry and immediately started doing their job: eating algae. They've since been active and seem to be in good health. However, while they are difficult to count, it looks to only be about 15. I'm missing 25% of the shrimp ordered. I understand that shipping live animals can be tough (cannibalism of stock that died in shipment is real), and once they were made aware the seller issued a partial refund. Which seems fair. **** Update! Less than a month later and there are so many fry. I'm gladly changing my original 4 star rating to 5. Responsive seller and good stock.
