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

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!

Quick update/Edit: Day 3 - All the babes are adjusting well and have settled into their new aquarium. Adding a couple more photos so you can see the color difference. They are a gorgeous deep blue. Thank you SoShrimp! Love my babies! ---- Original post: I was very nervous ordering these babies from so far away with the temperatures as high as they are right now. I communicated my concerns with the seller prior to shipment and he immediately responded with shipping info, and added some extra insulation to try to keep them safe. I am pleased to say, they all arrived safe and sound and I am a super excited shrimp mama! After a temperature acclimation, they were dropped in the aquarium and quickly began exploring their new home and started eating. A couple of them were a little more stressed and lethargic than the others and they just chilled out on the rock for a while picking a bit here and there, but by the end of the day, they were joining in the exploration. Very nice coloring and coloring on the legs. They're still young but it looks like a good mix of males/females. They're all beautiful! If I'm not able to source neos locally, I would definitely return to this seller for my next order. Lights out for the night, so we'll see how they are in the morning, but if anything happens, it would be on my end because the seller gave me a beautiful bunch. Very happy! P. S. My camera stinks, but I tried to get some decent pics for ya. Peace!

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.

Zero dead on arrival, came within a week. Some look like good grades, some look like culls. A few don’t seem to be bloody mary shrimp but rather sakura or fire red shrimps, but that’s alright. Their color ranges from deep dark red with chocolate bodies to clear bodies with red. They gave me about 3 males and 7 females. Decent size, includes some moss in the bag when they arrive.

This is the third maybe fourth time I have ordered from SoShrimp, every order has been on good timing, I always with express delivery and even though there is a 5 day time frame my order always arrives on the first day. The shrimp were all alive and healthy, they were packaged well, and with java moss to help them out with food and breathing. I got these shrimp to breed and at first I was worried that I got no males but I ended up identifying at least 2 males, they are just well raised and vibrantly colored. My only drawback is I was hoping they were a little older(larger) however, it's not enough for me to remove a star as I know they will still grow and that's part of the fun of raising a colony of shrimp. Very pleased!

First time ordering shrimp online and I was expecting some losses due to heat and shipping but all arrived alive, vivid blue and healthy. I received 11 young shrimp in various sizes up to about an inch long. Nice grade, mostly solid blue colors. Packaging was not impressive and the shrimp were in a small, thin plastic bag that seems like it could burst but they all arrived alive and did not seem stressed. I used the drip method to acclimate them, added the shrimp to my cycled tank and they immediately started actively looking for food and settled in quickly. I noticed parasites on the head and shells of a few shrimp but these should come off with the shell when they shed. 24 hours later: No casualties and they still look vivid blue, happy and healthy.

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.

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.
