The Blue Jelly Shrimp arrived healthy and active. They have been in my 20-liter tank for two months and are cleaning algae effectively. The color is very striking and adds a nice visual element to the tank. Easy to care for and very calm.

I bought this shrimp for my beginner aquarium. It adapted quickly to the tank and started eating algae within a week. The blue color is beautiful and the shrimp doesn’t stress other fish. Slightly shy at first but now they’re active.

Great addition to my freshwater setup. The shrimp are vibrant and help keep the tank clean. I didn’t have to do much maintenance since they consume detritus naturally. Very satisfied with the purchase.
