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

Lots of variety, all of them are alive and arrived alive. So fun to watch and they are so lively and healthy. Two snails one blackish brown and a bright yellow-orange, more than 20 colorful shrimp.

Lovely arrangement of shrimp and snail! Most all came healthy and lively. Had a few doa, but the seller was commutative and I had the correct number of live shrimp. They started grazing immediately once they were released into my tank. Great cost and mixed bag of shrimp. Some adults. Some young. Plenty of fun colors. Will definitely order again.

I've ordered twice now from these guys....They are amazing. I'm pretty sure out of 40 total shrimpies I only had like, one or two DOA with both packs combined. These shrimp are great quality, a great variety of all different vibrant colors, not to much of any color. I've surfed many pet stores around where I live, and I have not seen this quality of shrimp (or snail!!!) before. The reason why shrimp can be more expensive is that you pay for what you get...cheap shrimp won't be vibrant coloured shrimp, and these shrimp are still very well priced for quality (IMO). I will attach pictures, but please keep in mind I just changed the water out and I am a new fish mom. The snails are still young, and all the colors I've gotten were unique and beautiful like the shrimpies!!!!! I will order from them always, and recommend the same. Thank you Swimming Creatures, I am a happy customer. Can you find all the shrimpies in my pictures? 😁

UPDATE 2: My other review is for red shrimp, this one is for blue. They are the same species, but just a different color morph. I will copy and paste this review on the other because I consider it all part of the same experience. The short: My third time buying from this vendor means I am satisfied and that I do recommend this vendor. The long: All of my shrimp (I ordered 20) arrived alive. A few extra were included (just in case some didn't make the trip). The shrimp are well packed and insulated. I wouldn't order them all year around, be sensible about the temperature in your area. I live where it is nice this time of year but too hot for live shipping in the summer. I have a narrow window to order stuff like this so them arriving alive is very important. They have a 'arrive alive' guarantee but if it is too hot (or too cold) then it doesn't really matter. Getting it right the first time is what counts. They did get it right. There were also some fry (AKA babies) in with the adults. This is something that cannot be helped when bagging the adults. I collected them and put them in a different tank so they can grow in peace. Having fry in with the adults is a good sign that the mother colony is vibrant. Conclusion: It's always a gamble to buy live animals online and have them shipped. The trick is to improve the odds buy purchasing at the right time of year and from a vendor that manages for weather and other issues that can come up. I'm pleased. UPDATE: After several months the shrimp from the first order thrived. So I ordered again. The second order was not as good as the first. The first had extra shrimp. This one only had the 10 and 3 of them were dead on arrival. I will still buy from this vendor though. The shrimp are excellent and some loss is reasonable. I just wish they had put extra like last time so I would have still ended up with 10. I live in a place that has warm weather, even this time of year. I was worried about the shrimp. They came to the mail box, which worried me even more. Fortunately, I got a notification and was home so I was able to get them out within two minutes. I took the box home and opened it to find it full of insulation material in the middle of which was an insulated pouch in which the shrimp were placed. They put in extra shrimp just in case so instead of the 10 I ordered there were 14. That's a nice bonus. Even nicer is the fact that they were all alive. Not only alive, but quite lively. None of them were lethargic or showed any signs the journey had been tough on them. I acclimated them via drip for about an hour and a half and then introduced them to the main tank. They immediately started foraging for food and exploring the tank. It's worrisome to buy livestock online and I have only done it three times. One of those times was a disaster which kept me from doing it again for a long time. It was the live arrival guarantee that pursuaded me, and the fact that the purchase is through Amazon. I am pleased with the purchase, the speed of shipping, and the condition of the shrimp. That leads me to one more point that is important to make - the shrimp are large, no small ones in the bunch, and clearly have been taken well care of by the breeder as they are very bright red. All in all I couldn't be more pleased.

I received a well-packaged little box of shrimp. The temp was perfect, and the heat packs were still working. Healthy looking, and everyone arrived alive and happy. They added a spare just in case, and it was absolutely lovely. A few of the gals are absolute units, but the little ones are holding their own. Great colors!

These guys were great. All the shrimp showed up alive. It's been a month now and most are still doing great and the tank looks awesome. These little guys are even getting used to me feeding them and me being around. The variety was good. I received a couple of red ones, orange ones, blues and yellows. I even got a red and white one (Pepe), which may be my favorite but don't tell the others. They also gave really good instructions for transitioning them from the bag they came in to the tank. It was a great transition plan and I highly suggest doing that. The cons are pretty small. The snail was dead when I got it. Its bag didn't have any water so I suspect that was it. They gave me a refund right away so no big issue there. I also had a couple of shrimp die in the first few days but the rest have been doing great. The last thing was they showed up a couple days early. This is not a problem, per se. Just something to keep in mind when ordering them and planning your week. Overall, I am super happy with these guys. It's my first shrimp tank and was pretty nervous about it. So I am pretty stoked that this worked out so well!

Okay, first of all, I am the biggest A-hole because I ordered my shrimp and mystery snails on a week of 40-50's, not realizing it would be in the negatives of course the last 3 days in transit. HOWEVER, only 2 were DOA and there were actually 24 total instead of 20. Even despite the weather, the heat pack was still warm and there were absolutely no leaks or issues. They were double bagged and incredibly well, as I said, no leaks or holes or anything. The shrimp were/are very active and they are acclimating well. They range in sizes and I just absolutely LOVE them. I 100% WILL order again from here, just not in this weather because it isn't fair to the poor little things but even in MY stupidity (check your weather, peeps!!!), it was incredible packaging, HEALTHY and active shrimp, my mystery snails look good shell wise, overall a 5/5 for me. Thanks so much Swimming Creatures!!!

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
