Aquatic Arts Live Vampire Shrimp | Freshwater Aquarium Filter Shrimp | Safe for Tetra, Guppy & Betta Fish Tanks

I couldn’t be happier with my two vampire shrimp. These guys are easily the most unique and mesmerizing creatures in my tank. Instead of chasing food like typical shrimp, they sit perched like tiny sentinels, fanning the water with their delicate “hands” to catch anything drifting by. It’s honestly relaxing just watching them do their thing. They brought a whole new vibe to my aquarium — calm, almost hypnotic. Both are healthy, active, and seem completely comfortable in their environment. They get along great with my other tank inhabitants and add a natural, almost wild feel to the setup.

Arrived fast, good insulation and comes with acclimation instructions. Both shrimp were alive and active 5 stars

The seller is great! United Post was late on the delivery day and simply rescheduled the delivery for the next day!!!! With a box of live fish!!!! Absolutely fantastic, especially with freezing temperatures outside. I wrote to the seller, he was very responsive and asked me to keep him updated so that he could issue a refund if necessary. In the end, I took time off work, waited all day, and the delivery only arrived at 6 PM the next day and was left outside on the steps. Luckily, I was checking the entrance every 15 minutes or so while waiting for the delivery. The box was outside for no more than 10 minutes, but when I unpacked it, the water temperature had dropped to 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Within acceptable limits. I performed drip acclimatization, fed these funny lobsters a little, and released them into the main aquarium. A month has passed now, they are sitting in their burrows and filtering the water, I sometimes feed them with a syringe with shrimp food or give them pellets. The color is still light, but otherwise everything is fine with the shrimp!

Super sad I spent $50 and it died in less than 24 hours. I followed the directions perfectly, My water parameters were perfect. I have no clue what went wrong.

Died after 3 days probably do to my tds difference from the breeder they have a low to zero tds and I have around a 80-120 tds May have cause a early molting issue

1 out of 5 was DOA, but the remaining 4 are of good size and healthy. The heat pack was still warm when it arrived and the packaging and acclimation instructions are premium quality. I think the issue is that I placed the order on a Thursday, and despite the shipping costs, they arrived on Tuesday. I would place the order on a Monday if I could do it again.

Early to say still, but my vampire shrimp arrived happy and already active despite his long trip. (He's already filtering his water in his drip aclimation bucket.) He's still a little dull in color due to being colder than he'd like, but he's aclimating nicely. Shipping happened faster than the 1-3 weeks amazon qouted me, and he arrived pretty quickly with the express delivery. The packaging itself was in great shape, and while the insulation used is a tad messy it did it's job and both the heat pack was still warm and he was still active in his bag. He's a tad smaller than I expected, about an inch and a half, but he has all of his limbs and from what I can see he has no fan damage. I love that they sent him along with a small bit of moss, I'm sure it made him feel much more secure in his little adventure to my place. All in all, I'm thrilled with my purchase, and I can't wait to add him to his new home. I'll definitely be coming back to Aquatic Arts!

I’ve purchased two of these Vampire shrimp from Aquatic Arts in two separate occasions. I’ve also purchased lots of other shrimp and snails from them, as well. These Vampire shrimp are great, they’re super cute and a joy to watch with their little fan hands. I received small sized shrimp, which I was very happy with. I wanted younger vampires so that I can watch them grow and develop over time. Aquatic Arts is superb at packaging their live shipments, of all the times I’ve ordered from them, I’ve never had anything dead on arrival. I was especially impressed with my last vampire shrimp order from them. The shipment was delayed in transit due to COVID19 and the poor thing ended up stuck in the system for 5 days. It’s the start of summer so I was truly expecting my first dead arrival. However, thanks to Aquatic Arts’ great packaging, I got my newest little Vampire alive and well.
