Aquatic Arts 5 Green Babaulti Shrimp | Live Glass Clearer / Scraper for Freshwater Aquariums | Pet Caridina for Fish Tank | Aquarium

Well it was more like five. I think some died in transit but it wasn't worth the trouble of having them re-shipped (taking photos of the dead ones, calling the vendor etc) The vendor is so thoughtful I'm sure he will include extra with my next order in the spring.Next time I will order something a bit more colorful as these disappear in my planted tank. I also ordered nerite snails which are great. I never thought I could watch something move so slow for so long. There is no algae in my planted tank thanks to these guys. I had algae-covered drift wood that was cleaned in 2 days.Interesting packing. and a bit messy but it works. You should open it over the trash or outdoors with the wind blowing away from you.

Normally I’m more of a fan of blue colored shrimp, but I wanted a little color variety for my tank, so I ordered 5 of these guys. I received 6, all were alive and healthy. I got 2 females and 4 males.They’re honestly just as bright green and vibrant as the pictures. They’re a bit reclusive, but I’m always super happy when I can spot one swimming around. I’ve only had mine for a couple weeks now, but one of the females I received is already berried (carrying eggs). I’m so excited!

Shrimp were brown, not green and vibrant as the image shows

These came packed incredibly carefully for the safety of the shrimp and a letter explaining how best to introduce them to a tank in order to minimize shock. They are currently spread out across three tanks cleaning their little hearts out.

Order was for 5. We received 6 although 1 was not alive. USPS had damaged our box so almost all the water had leaked from their package and the stuffing in the box along with David and Crystals letter was all wet. Not their fault though. Although I do wish the packages were marked with Live Animals. Not sure if it would help or not. Shrimp were smaller than I expected and when put in our 75gal tank, they just disappeared. We every once in a while spot them, but they blend pretty well with our plants and stone gravel. I really should have paid more attention to the size and not gotten the dwarf shrimp, but I know better for next time. I still feel like Aquatic Arts is the absolute best to purchase from!

Unfortunately the first batch came in a leaking bag and the packaging was a mess. I won't blame them as anything can happen in transit. Only one survived that trip so I texted the owner and he got back to me very fast. A few days later the replacements came, free of charge. The shrimp themselves acclimated nice and took a day to color up. They look fantastic and are a lot of fun to watch!

I first got myself a few shrimp, just because I was cureous. I loved them.They are busy little creatures. Industrious like they have a purpose to motivate them. Then I found out by reading some psychology forums and blogs, that watching aquatic creatures was actually good for your heart. Good for your psyche. Good for removing stress.I simply find them to be a joy to watch. Friends, family and especially my grandkids are getting more hooked on going to my office in order to watch them for a while.

Shrimp arrived alive and beautiful. Also, arrived in a timely manner. I loved them so much I bought twice as many from their website!!
