The shrimp are active and colorful. They adapted well to my tank after a week. I noticed females carrying eggs, which was very interesting to watch. Water parameters stayed stable with their presence.

They arrived healthy and seem to be thriving. The red coloration is vibrant, though not exactly as shown in the photo. Still, they are a great addition to my freshwater setup.

I’ve kept them for three months now. They clean the tank naturally and are very social. The males and females interact nicely, and I’ve seen egg-bearing females, which is a nice sign of breeding.
