The Flower Shrimp arrived healthy and active. They quickly started cleaning the glass and substrate. I love the bright colors and their calm behavior. Easy to care for and a great addition to my 10-gallon tank.

They are very lively and add a lot of charm to the tank. I kept them in a group of six, and they seem to get along well. The only thing is they need a stable temperature and soft water.
