The shrimp arrived quickly and looked healthy. They have been active in my 20-gallon tank for two months and are helping clean the substrate. The coloration is beautiful and they seem to be getting along well with my betta.

I added them to my community tank with snails and small fish. They don’t seem to compete for food and are active during the day. I’ve noticed less algae buildup since introducing them.

Great addition to my aquarium. The black and silver patterns are very eye-catching. They’re peaceful and don’t stress other fish. Easy to maintain and feed.
