2024 American Shrimp Contest 1st place winners!
These caridina shrimp are a blue based shrimp, but high grades are mostly solid black with orange eyes. Their black shell will reflect the light, making it look like a colorful oil slick over top of the black shell, and when they get to full mature adult, can produce nice flecks of metallic, mostly on the head.
You will receive fully black shrimp (SS+ Grade).
Caridina shrimp require soft room temperature water with a range of:
pH below 6.5
gH of 4-6
kH of 0
Everything arrived alive and as described would order again.
Arrived and absolutely perfect!!
Both the shrimp and the packaging they were shipped in were great quality. All the shrimp arrived alive and exactly as described. Will definitely order other shrimp in the future!
I was nervous getting my tank ready as I've had bad luck with more tricky Caridina. These guys are doing great in my well seasoned, parameter tuned water and looked great right after drip acclimating them. Once they've settled, going on a week now, they look even better but they were deep purple and vibrant just getting into the tank!
I will probably get a second group!! My pics don't do it justice, which is frustrating when I wanna show them off!
Received 12 OEBD, all alive and in great condition. Packaging was superb. As the description says, some are true black while others have a bluish tone. A couple had the oil slick iridescent color. Absolutely beautiful shrimp. Thank you, Lucky Aquatics!
