ShrimpRack™ 20 Blue Dream Neocaridina Live Freshwater Shrimps for Aquarium. Fully Mature Breeding Age. Live Arrival Guarantee

I've ordered shrimp online before and never had this much success. ALL of the shrimp arrived alive - including the extras to guarantee the order minimum of 20. There were 3 baby shrimp so small they didn't even have color in addition to my 22 adults, so that's an amazing outcome! I ordered these in the middle of July so my expectations were not that high. The ice pack included did melt but did not leak, the bag with shrimp was well sealed as well. I can tell the shrimp have not been fed too recently before shipment as there was very little waste in the bottom of the bag. The shrimp themselves are definitely not all 100% fire red high grade but to expect that at this cost with shipment of the shrimp is really unrealistic. Overall the grade is better than what is available to me locally, with bright red opaque coloring for the most part. A couple shrimp are overly dark and a few have the racing stripe, but most are truly a high grade neocardina which exceeded my expectations. Overall they are very pretty shrimp and maintain an opaque color that makes them super visible in the tank. Most of the shrimp themselves are all still healthy after a four hour drip acclimation and another 12 hours in the tank so far. One has died, but none are showing symptoms of obvious near death. Less "glass surfing" than I've observed when getting other shrimp.

Both times I ordered the package came super early. Only took 2 days from purchase this time. All shrimp came alive. Some are super vibrant others are not.. but that's one reason why I will always reorder from them bc I do not think it's right that places "cull" ugly shrimp. I actually love that they sell this 20 pack at less then half of the "perfect color" shrimp but really the coloring on them is still great. Actually out of 20 only like 3-5 are muted coloring. So you get 20 for less then 10 and if you want perfect color or a specific color go on their website they have some really really amazing ones. My overall favorite is the blue ones I received altho in the first bag I swear it looked like there was a black or super dark brown one too that is so pretty as well. They are all amazing tho. Also in my first bag 3 had eggs and in this bag 2 did. In the future I will definitely buy again from them. Especially with the deal it is. The fact that they all come healthy and alive, and some even with eggs. And some are so super colorful like the local store here would sell 1 of the yellow or red ones for $10 and these are more healthy and in better condition, and they have colors that the local pet store doesnt.. Also the first purchase I got was about 2 weeks ago and they're still all alive, altho really good at hiding so challenging to do headcount. Highly recommend buying. Especially directly from a place that deals with a ton of shrimp.. so they have the knowledge to make sure you only get healthy animals

UPDATE on my review, a month after receiving: Indeed my little wee ones are now growing and look like miniatures of parents. Multiple colors of babies as well, just a reminder to not throw the babies out with the bathwater when the package arrives. They are hard to see in the package but if you look closely you will see the tiny micro babies, clear in color. I didn't want to mix the water with my tank water but so far so good and I didn't sacrifice losing any micro babies. Now they are growing and fun to watch them getting bigger. So glad I noticed them and didn't toss them out. Was pleased with my order 2 weeks ago so bought another batch. All are alive and beautiful array of colors. There are also multiple very tiny babies almost microscopic. Last time I chased them for hours as I couldn't bear to throw away live creatures. This time there were many more so I poured all shrimp and micro babies into my tank along withthe water. Hate mixing water but didn't want to lose any babies. Shrimp are thriving and active and I turned out the lights and fed them. I have moss and cholla wood in my tank which they love. The array of colors is as advertised and incredibly pleased again. However it isn't 2 day shipping. Took another 4 days in transit. Postman dropped at my door and I invited him in to see my other shrimp as well as the new ones. He was fascinated! My tank is in my office and I am constantly peering at my tank to see where the shrimp are. Most of these don't hide but I do have many safe places for them to hide. They adore the moss and are growing nicely.

All the shrimp were alive and intact and very active. They really enjoy the tank I put them in. I'm very satisfied with the delivery. It's very hot here in Texas. It got to 105° yesterday and I was worried about these shrimp being okay I had placed the order before the temperatures had started to change this high. Luckily the distributor thought ahead and put a cold pack in there with my shrimp. It's a tension like that that makes me want to keep coming back. Would highly recommend

I liked the variety of colors. Upon arrival I counted the shrimp while still in the bag and there were only 20. When I open the bag to start the drip exclamation I noticed an odor, but thankfully all were alive. I'm glad because I did not receive the extra two as advertised. I noticed one or two were berried, so I guess that technically makes up for the missing two. They were what seemed to be stressed and I did not realize this seller did not include heating packs which is an error on my part. After I introduced them to the tank everyone seemed to be happy. Unfortunately within a few days I had lost four to five. A few days after that I noticed one that had green stuff on it and at first I thought it was pregnant. But I don't think those are babies. Unfortunately she did not make it. She passed shortly after she was pulled out of the tank to quarantine. I probably have about six out of 20 still alive after 2 weeks. I did not anticipate the outcome as I have ordered online before with no issues. Also there were no plants included as advertised and nowhere on the package did it say "LIVE" as it has in the past when I ordered. I believe they may have rust disease, which I don't know much about because I've not had this problem before until now and I've been shrimp keeping for a long time. If I could give minus Stars I would. I'm not even going to bother reaching out through the little piece of paper that came with the package because they were alive when they arrived and the paper says to contact if you have any dead on arrivals. It doesn't say please contact us if your shrimp are dying or if they all die within 2 weeks or if they have a fungus or rust disease. So I'm not going to waste my time. Hopefully my tank survives all of this with the other shrimp that I had prior to these guys. If not I may give up the hobby all together which is really sad. That said I would not recommend and I would not purchase again. Please do your research if everyone is saying the same thing then they're probably something to it and I should have listened but I thought maybe they just got a bad batch. Nope! And from what I'm reading the seller will not even get back with you. So we have false advertisement, sick and dying shrimp, and a seller that just will not respond. I did reach out to the seller via the Amazon app and a week later... crickets ...not a word. I will be contacting Amazon customer service tomorrow and we'll see where that gets me.

So happy with this purchase!! All were alive and they were many that were large. They are thriving and look beautiful in my tank. Would definitely buy from this supplier again!!

Guaranteed live arrival! The package was shipped with a frozen gel to keep the package cool (ordered in the summer). As far as I know, all of the shrimp have survived the acclimation to their new homes. The colors for most of them were absolutely fire red though one was almost a wild type and two were low grade. Out of the 22 sent, there were only two females neither being berried but those two females were indeed exceptional in their coloring.

This will be a long review but I wanted to make this as thorough as possible because there were a lot extenuating circumstances and what could go wrong did! 100% recommend this seller!! My first order faced many obstacles - MLK Day, the coldest weather in several years and USPS delayed arrival by 3 days!! With all these issues - they arrived DOA (8 days in a bag DOES NOT work). NONE of the issues were because of the seller/breeder - they were expertly packaged and shipped. The issues were all caused by USPS and the weather! I called and he (the seller) was very helpful and reassured me that the breeder would make things right. After a few emails exchanged - the breeder sent a replacement group of 20+ that arrived just fine in 3 days (as they should have done the first time without all the issues). 2 were dead in the bag but he includes extras just in case. They have been in my tank now for over 24 hours and 2 more ended up dead but with the extras I still ended up with 20 - so all good. They are a great variety - blue, red and orange rili, solid orange, red and blue and some that have a neon yellow stripe (really cool). Just a lot of cool little shrimp - if that is what you want then the value is awesome (these are $8 each at the pet store) - so the price is phenomenal! I have read a few negative reviews - from my experience I think it’s more on the buyer’s end - not the seller. When you ship fish/shrimp - typically ammonia in the bag is very high and the ph drops drastically (see my pic) - you need to float them to get the bag to tank temperature and then put them in a small fish safe container and dump out about half the water. Add some fresh tank water (not a lot) to start getting rid of the nasty water and slowly raise the ph level. Not too quick - they will go into shock from the drastic change in ph. I spent several hours removing small amounts of water and adding fresh tank water - giving them time to adjust. Don’t rush this process. Even getting them acclimated like this and I still had 2 not make it - all covered by the extras. When I was done - the water parameters were exactly the same and they released wonderfully. You also want to make sure your tank is fully cycled and ready for the shrimp. The pic is one of an orange, orange rili and a blue - lots of variety. I would 100% buy from this seller again and highly recommend.
