The Blue Bolt Shrimp are very active and add a lot of visual interest to my 20-gallon tank. They seem healthy and stay vibrant even after a month. Easy to care for and don’t require special feeding. I’m happy with the purchase.

I’ve had these shrimp for about three months now. They’re colorful and active, though they do need soft water and stable pH. I keep them in a planted tank with gentle flow. Slightly more sensitive than other shrimp species.

Great addition to my aquarium. The blue color stands out well in the tank. They’re hardy and don’t seem to stress easily. I’ve noticed they clean small debris from the substrate regularly.
