Ordered a breeder pack for the Carbon rilis and Green Jades (2 separate tanks) and my goodness these shrimp look gorgeous.

As for the Rilis, on arrival I had 0 DoAs and they were all healthy. 1 month has passed and one recently released her berries (I had no berried females on purchase, so with great tank conditions they breed quick) with another one still carrying. Picture quality is a bit scant but it's fairly difficult zooming in on a baby that's 4mm max. :)

Little friends came perfectly packaged, all alive and a pleasant surprise with about 7 babies already being born! Colors really pop in my tank and love watching the littles swim around typing on their invisible typewriters.

Will definitely order from again!

They all arrived safe and are bigger than I thought they would be! Super cool colors,I will definitely order more in the future for my other tanks!

I bought the breeder pack, which had brought about 5 babies in addition to the 10 shrimp! I put the babies in a 10 Gal tank the adults in a 20 Gal tank, and the adults are popping out more babies than I can count! Cherries next! XD

First time shrimp owner here! I bought 10 Carbon Rili and they were shipped in a very timely manner with all 10 shrimp and my Java moss arriving in good order.

Today I see a bunch of thriving shrimp and moss! Their color even deepened/improved over a few initial days.

Sincerely,
Happy Customer

I love these shrimp. They were easy to acclimate to my tank and add a nice pop of color.

I ordered 5 of these shrimp in addition to a Caridina order, with the intent to add them to the same tank. I set up a tank using RODI water and matched the water parameters as best as I could and these shrimp (as well as the Caridina's) are doing amazing! I ended up with 4 females and the other two are still a bit too small to tell. I really enjoy watching them. They are pretty dark in color and don't stand out when they're on the substrate I have, but they're beautiful on the plants and rock in my tank. Very happy with the purchase, price and shipping.

Absolutely gorgeous little shrimp. They all arrived healthy (and with some extra tiny babies!) and have acclimated great. I have a dark substrate, dark wood setup and was worried the carbons may not show up very well but they look fantastic, like little jewels patrolling up and down the tank. I highly recommend Shrimpy Business as a merchant and the carbons in particular as a really great color morph.

I just picked up 10 carbon rili and they are amazing! I live locally and Nick met up with me in person to avoid shipping. I had ordered some from another well known company and was very disappointed. This group from Shrimpy Business is perfect and there is even a berried female! If you want great shrimp, look no further!

I ordered two more of these and they arrived today and are super cool. I got a bonus baby in the bag too!

Amazing cleaners!

Ordered a 5pck and all arrived safely, even the backups! So I've ended up with a few more than planned, but am not complaining. Everyone arrived healthy and lively, gorgeous colouring, and with a few mature females as well! They're clearly well handled and far from skittish, some even climbed into the net during tank transfer and waited for the lift. Got to work straight away

They don’t look exactly like the picture, much darker

They don’t look exactly like the picture (I think some look like blue rili) though some do look like the picture. I ordered 10 and they arrived swiftly. Though one shrimp did seem off in the bag it wouldn’t move once I released them in they’re new home again it didn’t move and just stuck to on spot on the tank within 24 hours I came backfrom work and it was white red and dead. I’m assuming from the stress of the shipping but the rest are thriving. They are also much darker than the picture on them.

Beautiful shrimp

Beautiful shrimp! I even got a surprise with probably about 10 new born babies in the bag. Super happy with my order. Everything I order from Shrimp Business is great, I have been satisfied with everything I’ve received from them.

This company is truly top notch

I received three gorgeous Blueberry Snails and six Carbon Rili Shrimp (even though I only ordered five—thank you for the bonus! 😉). And honestly… I may have even received more than six, because one looks like she might be berried (carrying eggs) 🥰

This company is truly top notch. As impatient as I was for their arrival, they were patient, thoughtful, and caring—waiting for a warmer stretch before shipping these little gems across the country.

Is it ridiculous to order shrimp and snails in the dead of winter and across the country? Yes.
Am I absolutely thrilled that I did? Also yes.

Shrimpy Business , thank you for your fantastic customer service and care. Everything was packaged perfectly, everyone arrived healthy and active, and they’re now happily exploring and cleaning house.
