Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis)

I got this guy back in October of 2023 and it's still alive and well! The vampire shrimp, along with other critters purchased, were packaged safely and all arrived alive and well. It has been such a treat to watch this shrimp grow and change colors. When it arrived, it was a light tan color, now a stunning blue/grey! It has done well in the planted tank I have with other shrimp and fish. Its name is Pool Boy (PB is the nickname) and he is loved dearly :)

If you're thinking about getting some of these guys do it! I've been doing my research on these cuties when I found that shrimpbusiness has some but were out of stock. I went to my fish store and they had some but I thought I would wait.. glad I did because as soon as these guys came back in stock I grabbed 2! And omg they are healthy active and huge! I wasn't expecting how huge they were since the one at my fish store was half it's size! These are as big as my hand and different colors ones blue and white and the other being orange and black super cool I love them thank you im very pleased with
My new friends I'll never stop recommending this business to others

We love our Dwayne The Shrimp Johnson! Very healthy and active. He’s fun to have around for sure.

Shrimp arrived a little later than usual but it was worth it as he is huge!

These big boys arrived healthy and ready to filter. They are doing a great job filtering my water. They like to hang out in the corner where they catch good waterflow and just go to town constantly.

Super excited I finally got one, even if he hides all the time

Arrived alive and in good condition

My vampire shrimp (and neocardina shrimp and mystery snail) arrived well-packaged and very healthy. I haven't seen it much since then, as it hides, but I check on it every other day and appears to be doing well. I'm not sure I'd get another in the future because I like having aquarium buddies that spend a lot of time out and about in the tank, but I'd definitely recommend Shrimpy Business for healthy critters.

I purchased two vampire shrimp—they’re absolutely beautiful, large, and gentle at the same time. Shrimpy Business never disappoints when it comes to the quality of their animals!

I love my shrimp. It has a great personality and just fun to have. Relaxed guy doesn't bother other fish, he does this one thing when it gets excited, he runs across the bottom of the tank and kicks up the debris and pulls small plants out. Overall fun guy, 10 out of 10 recommend.

I had purchased 2 of these big guys. One did not make it after a molt about 2 weeks after introducing it into the aquarium. The other one, we have lovingly named Bubba. He is huge. He roams the floor of the aquarium and plays well with our corydoras and the pleco, Lord Brussel Sprout. He is super fun to watch with his fans moving around. I have to admit I didn't think they were going to be very big, however, I was a bit shocked and a little frightened of them at first. They are a wonderful addition to our peaceful tank.

I bought four vampire shrimp a while back maybe one or two years ago. Unfortunately three have died along the way but the last vampire shrimp is living his best life.

He's huge and very alive - he is def a gentle giant.

Arrived alive and well!! I was so worried about ordering live shrimp online but I've ordered twice from here already and have had great luck!

Arrived alive and healthy. Excellent packaging and amazing customer service. Great business to deal with.

My little guy came securely packed and happy. This shrimp jumped right into their new home and made quick friends. I am glad to know my new friend came from a shop that obviously cares. I am just starting a live planted aquarium and this new friend is fitting right in. I will be ordering from this store again today and in the future.

I was a little unsure about buying alive shrimp and having ship in mail but wow really nice job it is really nice size healthy very much alive can't say enough about it would buy again from them

Yoooo! New shrimp just dropped! Shrimp 2 babyyy!
