The shrimp are vibrant and active in my 10-gallon tank. They blend well with my red and black shrimp. Easy to care for and very peaceful. No issues with water chemistry so far.

Arrived quickly and the color is exactly as described. They seem healthy and stay active. I’ve kept them with other shrimp for a month and no aggression observed.

Great addition to my nano tank. The deep yellow color stands out and they don’t stress other inhabitants. Water parameters stayed stable after adding them.
