These are tank bred and born Bloody Mary Neocaridina Shrimp.
The shrimp you will receive were born out of our colony originally purchased from a very reputable home breeder. Disease and Pest free. We send them out at un-sexed juvenile age, so they're not completely full grown, and not completely colored up. These will be small, so in the wrong community tank, may be picked on by larger fish.
Benefits of purchasing home bred neocaridina shrimp over purchasing imported neocaridina shrimp found in most online retailers, is the fact that they were born in our water conditions, and in a very clean and controlled environment (preferable over the ponds you find with their wholesalers). Many conditions arise also, with the international shipping of these adult shrimp in large quantities. This is very stressful on the shrimp, and can cause them to prematurely molt, raising issues with their next molt.
The most stress our shrimp are going to go through is a 1-3 day box ride in a breather bag to your home. After a proper acclimation to your tank within our suggested parameters, you should be able to enjoy your shrimp colony for years.
These will do best on an inert substrate, which is cool because its cheap $$!! I recommend using Black Diamond from Tractor Supply for a black substrate, or pool filter sand if you are looking for a lighter/white substrate.
We keep our Neocaridina in the following parameters:
how such small animal make me such big happy
Couldn't be happier with these shrimp and dealing with this company! These folks know how to do it the right way! Hands down, the best looking bloody mary shrimp I've ever seen! Lucky Aquatics is now our first choice any time we are looking for shrimp!
The shrimp was shipped promptly and arrived alive. The little critters are being really happy and active in my aquarium.
They all arrived well and looking healthy. Even included some sample food. A variety of sizes of shrimp.
What a great business to get what you need from! Not only do you include one extra shrimp, you provided a small packet of food and a couple Asian candies for the humans! :-) I love that you are also in the midwest, closer to us. Thank you so much, we will definitely being doing more business in the future!
I had an awesome experience ordering from Lucky Aquatics! 10 Bloody Mary Shrimp arrived two days from ordering. They are packaged with care and are definitely an excellent choice for someone looking for a nice rich red shrimp. I am looking forward to building this colony up seeing that they are so active and healthy. There was a good variety of males and females from what i could tell. Also included with the order was some Pure Nordic- Nord Snow food, as well as an extra ledge and bonus plant. I am super happy with the quality of the shrimp as well as the extra items included in the order. Good Job Team Lucky!
Fast shipping., the shrimp where packed very well and they look great. Nice deep red color to them
Ordered 10 bloody mary neos. Recieved order quickly. Professionally packaged for live arrival. Drip acclimated for 2 hours. All are doing great. Glad I ordered from Lucky Aquatics. Thank you.
Ordered 5 Bloody Mary Shrimp because my tank was finally cycled enough, had a hard time choosing who to buy from but decided going local was the best. SO glad I did, got 5+1 and all of them survived and are healthy and beautiful! Three have already molted and they seem to be doing great. I have had them for about a week now, no issues, 12/10 would recommend buying any shrimp from here!! They were shipped very well, got my package a day early even and came with a little package of shrimp food, if your looking for shrimp buy these they are gorgeous!
I was hesitant to purchase shrimp online but couldn't find Bloody Mary's in local stores. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this transaction went. The package arrived very quickly and was very thoughtfully packed and insulated. The shrimp were active and showed no signs of stress. I'll definitely shop here again. Thanks!
