The shrimp arrived quickly and are very active in my planted tank. Their golden back color is stunning against the dark sand. I didn’t need to feed them much—just a few algae wafers every few days. They seem to be thriving and are very easy to care for.

I’ve had these shrimp for two months now and they’re still healthy and active. The tank looks much more vibrant with them. I love how they move around in the background, especially under the plants.

They arrived in good condition and are active in the tank. I noticed they prefer areas with plant cover. Feeding is minimal, which is great for a low-maintenance setup.
