Live Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Neocaridina (Dream Blue Velvet (10 Pack))

First time ordering shrimp online and I was expecting some losses due to heat and shipping but all arrived alive, vivid blue and healthy. I received 11 young shrimp in various sizes up to about an inch long. Nice grade, mostly solid blue colors. Packaging was not impressive and the shrimp were in a small, thin plastic bag that seems like it could burst but they all arrived alive and did not seem stressed. I used the drip method to acclimate them, added the shrimp to my cycled tank and they immediately started actively looking for food and settled in quickly. I noticed parasites on the head and shells of a few shrimp but these should come off with the shell when they shed.24 hours later: No casualties and they still look vivid blue, happy and healthy.

Quick update/Edit: Day 3 - All the babes are adjusting well and have settled into their new aquarium. Adding a couple more photos so you can see the color difference. They are a gorgeous deep blue. Thank you SoShrimp! Love my babies!----Original post: I was very nervous ordering these babies from so far away with the temperatures as high as they are right now. I communicated my concerns with the seller prior to shipment and he immediately responded with shipping info, and added some extra insulation to try to keep them safe.I am pleased to say, they all arrived safe and sound and I am a super excited shrimp mama! After a temperature acclimation, they were dropped in the aquarium and quickly began exploring their new home and started eating. A couple of them were a little more stressed and lethargic than the others and they just chilled out on the rock for a while picking a bit here and there, but by the end of the day, they were joining in the exploration.Very nice coloring and coloring on the legs. They're still young but it looks like a good mix of males/females. They're all beautiful! If I'm not able to source neos locally, I would definitely return to this seller for my next order.Lights out for the night, so we'll see how they are in the morning, but if anything happens, it would be on my end because the seller gave me a beautiful bunch. Very happy!P. S.My camera stinks, but I tried to get some decent pics for ya. Peace!

The media could not be loaded.  I'm newer to shrimp so I was nervous about purchasing them especially off Amazon, but wow! They came right on time and they were all alive and very active!! I purchased 5 and when I opened them there were 6!! I acclimated them as instructed and they're running around the 10 gallon having fun! I highly HIGHLY recommend these guys! Top tier! I will definitely be purchasing from these guys again!!!

The media could not be loaded.  This is the third maybe fourth time I have ordered from SoShrimp, every order has been on good timing, I always with express delivery and even though there is a 5 day time frame my order always arrives on the first day. The shrimp were all alive and healthy, they were packaged well, and with java moss to help them out with food and breathing. I got these shrimp to breed and at first I was worried that I got no males but I ended up identifying at least 2 males, they are just well raised and vibrantly colored. My only drawback is I was hoping they were a little older(larger) however, it's not enough for me to remove a star as I know they will still grow and that's part of the fun of raising a colony of shrimp. Very pleased!

I am very happy with my order of 10 Blue Dream shrimp. They arrived a few days early and were well packaged. I used the drop method to help them adjust to my aquarium water and today they are happily swimming around. Their addition seemed to calm my existing Amano shrimp I rarely saw them during the day but they are out and about socializing as well. All in all very pleased. Thank you!

They looked amazing so blue. An I even got an extra one so got 11 of them an all alive.

Well packaged, arrived promptly.
