The shrimp arrived quickly and looked healthy. I set up a small planted tank with some driftwood and they settled in well. They seem to enjoy the plants and stay in the back corners.

They arrived fine, but I noticed one shrimp didn’t move much after a week. I’m not sure if it’s due to the water parameters or the setup. Will monitor closely.
