The Red Dragon Shrimp arrived healthy and vibrant. Their red color and white markings are stunning in the tank. They actively clean algae and add a lot of visual interest. I’ve had them for three months and they seem to be thriving in my 20-liter tank with stable water parameters.

Beautiful shrimp with a unique appearance. They are active and help keep the tank clean. I noticed they prefer shaded areas and feed on algae near the glass. A bit shy at first, but they settled in well after a week.

Great addition to my freshwater setup. The color is vivid and the shrimp are hardy. I keep them with other small fish and they don’t seem to interfere. They are a joy to watch and maintain the tank’s cleanliness.
