The shrimp arrived quickly and looked healthy. They’ve been in my 10-gallon tank for two months and are very active. The color is vivid and they seem to enjoy the plants and hiding spots. Easy to care for and a great addition to my aquarium.
Kimberly Sharp –
I bought a small group of Super Yellow Shrimp and they’ve been thriving. They don’t seem to eat much but are always moving around. The tank water stays clear, and they don’t stress other fish. A pleasant sight.
