The shrimp arrived healthy and active. They have been in my 10-liter tank for two weeks and are constantly moving around. The red-orange eyes stand out and they seem to be eating algae naturally. I’ve kept them with a few other dwarf shrimp and they coexist peacefully.

I bought this for my beginner aquarium. The shrimp are small but very colorful. They adapt well to the water parameters I set. I feed them a bit of algae wafers each day and they seem to enjoy it. A nice touch to the tank.

Great addition to my shrimp tank. The shrimp are active and curious. I noticed they clean the glass and eat small bits of algae. I keep them in a separate tank with only other shrimp, which works well.
