These shrimp are awesome! I have never had shrimp before (fish, yes, but never shrimp). So, they seemed very tiny and brown when I got them ha ha because I had no idea what a stressed out from being in the mail juvenile shrimp looked like. But, man! As soon as we got them in the tank, they immediately colored up. They are all very healthy. Every single shrimp we bought from Daku not only lived, but thrived. They are large, breeding, and colorful! We also had a weird color request for a shrimp that was honored by this story. Great communication with the owner/seller!
We are having so much fun with our little shrimp colony and would and have bought more from Daku.
I ordered 10+2 Red Neocaridina shrimp. The shrimp arrived promptly. I was surprised to find that they were all juveniles—quite small. However, after some thought, I agreed with the reasoning behind sending young shrimp: they acclimate more easily than adults.
I followed the detailed acclimation instructions provided with the order, and I’m happy to report that every shrimp made it without issue.
It’s been over a month now, and they are growing quickly, staying super active, and scavenging all day. This has been a very positive experience overall. I think the best review I can give is that I would definitely purchase from Daku Aquatics again. Thank you!
Absolutely thrilled with my purchase. The shrimp arrived in amazing condition and settled in very nicely. Will definitely order again!
Best shrimp I have ever ordered, and I have ordered from several of "the big boys" in shrimp breeding. The care in packaging, color selection, and health of the shrimp was second to none. Detailed acclimation, water parameters, and care instructions were included. I will be ordering again very soon and am considering setting up a 2nd shrimp tank thanks to this fantastic breeder.
Man! I got the 10 skittles and 4 yellows. Once acclimatized and released into the tank, they went work eating. Great color mix on the skittles mix.
