Swimming Creatures™ Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp - A Perfect Combo to Brighten Your Aquarium! (10, Premium Blue)

These all arrived alive and are so vibrant and cute. I got the mix. 2 are pregnant ! And there where a few babies in the bag. This is my second order from this company. Excellent little shrimp

Ordered the 20 mix premium and received 23. Shrimp arrived early and healthy. There were a few DOA only about 3 and even with that 23 were alive and healthy. Even had 2 burried shrimp and several babies swimming around as well. I didn’t notice them till I put them in a bowl to acclimate. So much cheaper than pet stores near me and these shrimp are so much bigger and more vibrant. They seemingly acclimated well (it’s only been a day). I would definitely buy again and plan on buying more in the near future. Definitely recommend buying from here. I was super skeptical about buying live shrimp on Amazon but they really delivered. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Blue Jelly Shrimp came today. Looks to be 3 that perished but seller had extras included and I honestly only wanted 5. I like to stills have 9 with 2 females full of eggs. They are very lively and all over the tank. Healthy as well. Would do business again and again. Thanks!

These arrived quickly, packaged well, and super active. A couple of females with eggs as well. I will for sure be ordering more!

Long review because I want to explain as much as possible in case it is useful to someone (but really because I want to infodump about my new shrimps lol). They are in a 20gal long aquarium that already had two shrimps from an old colony (unsure whether one of the old shrimps snuck into the video). Received these guys a couple days ago (their day of arrival is "Day 0"). They came in two bags with approximately half of the shrimps in each bag. One shrimp was DOA and the bag it was in smelled quite bad, but everyone else was still alive. I put all the shrimps into a small tub using water from the non-stinky bag and began drip acclimating them. During acclimation, I came to realize that one of the shrimps had damaged legs and the notorious "green fungus" (it's not actually a fungus, rather a parasitic algae, but that's what it's commonly called). This was mentioned in some of the reviews on other listings from this seller, so I wasn't entirely surprised. I separated that shrimp from the rest and continued acclimating. I treated the water in the tub with a tiny amount of H2O2 because I read that this kills spores from the parasite. I'm not too mad at the seller because it's hard to avoid all disease in stressed-out animals being shipped across the country, but it's something to look out for and there's always the worry that others will catch it. I didn't bother quarantining the whole lot, only the obviously sick one, because there were so few previous shrimps in my aquarium. They seemed a bit stressed upon arrival and during acclimation, but perked up quickly upon being added to the aquarium. They immediately took to exploring the tank and grazing. A few more died, but I don't blame the seller, as I'll explain: One shrimp died during the acclimation process. Another died overnight into Day 1, and another random one died in the middle of Day 1. The "green fungus" shrimp died in quarantine after I tried a salt bath. So in total, including the DOA, I lost 4 out of the whole shipment. I don't blame the seller for these deaths because I typically lose some shrimps in the first few days no matter where I buy them from, even if I'm careful to acclimate them slowly. They are sensitive to changes and shipping is stressful to them. As a note, I would beware of reviews that complain about the shrimps dying without any mention of drip acclimation, because this species simply does not survive well if you don't acclimate them very slowly. It's now Day 2 and there have been no additional deaths, and none of them show any sign of the "green fungus". I'm hopeful that the shrimp that had the "fungus" was just a weak individual and that the problem won't become more widespread. All seem healthy and active, and there was even a successful molt. I've been feeding them (mineral junkie on Day 1, Hikari pellets today) and they have good appetites. The seller was MORE THAN GENEROUS with the extras. It was hard to count but I think there were even more than the promised 20+4, PLUS at least two were berried and a couple babies were in there. Other than the bonus babies, they were all either adults or close to being adults, i.e. they will probably breed before long. This is a very good deal if you're looking to start a colony, especially for the price (about 60 USD); different sellers I've bought from in the past either sent fewer shrimps for more money, or sent juveniles that weren't close to breeding age. Also, the extras and the berried females more than make up for losing a few. As for the coloration, results were somewhat mixed. Most of them are quite nice looking and a few are an absolutely stunning dark blue. However, a few of them are too light and/or a bit too patchy for me to call them "grade A+" as the seller's graphic implies they are. They seem to have colored up now that they're settled, but the patchy ones are still patchy, so this is likely their true coloration and not just shipping stress. I'll update if anything significant happens that changes my viewpoint, but overall I'm satisfied despite the few caveats.

Only one was lost in shipping. Nice color, few berried and three days later look very healthy .

Shrimp arrived perfectly safe, seller included extras in case of a couple shrimp dying during shipping so I received not only my exact number of shrimp ordered, but also a pregnant shrimp who just gave birth as soon as I put them into their new tank!!

I don’t write reviews often, but felt compelled to on this one. I could not be happier with my purchases. This was my first order from swimming creatures, but won’t be my last. I ordered the Rili mix and some blue and red Ramshorn snails. Everything arrived alive and thriving and the shrimp are GORGEOUS! So happy with the service I received. Fedex took one day longer than expected to deliver so I was a little worried but they were packed so well it didn’t matter. Super happy with my purchases! Included a pic of one happy shrimp, hitching a ride on my mystery snail.

Considering these guys came from the states to Canada, I am really impressed. Bigger than I thought they would be, beautiful mix of colours and all ten lived. I think there might have been an extra one in there as there looked like a wee cooked shrimp, but really happy with the variety and size of these guys. And such troopers for making the huge journey . I would order again, on a Monday though,,, lol
