The Blue Jelly Shrimp added a lot of color and movement to my tank. They seem healthy and active, and I love how they interact with the live plants. Easy to care for and a great addition to a small freshwater setup.

I’ve had them for a month now and they’re thriving. The red color stands out well against the green plants. They don’t seem to eat much, but they’re always active and entertaining to watch.

Great little shrimp that bring life to the tank. They don’t damage plants and are easy to maintain. I noticed they reproduce after a few weeks, which is a nice bonus.
