smm333 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 My order of shrimp arrived today! I went with red rili which members here recommended due to my black sand. They are currently being drip acclimated in a bowl. I am so excited! They are super cute! I ordered 10+1 in case of doa and requested small ones. I got 13 and all arrived alive! Various sizes from one teeny tiny one to a couple that look almost grown. Can't wait to get them into the tank and be an official shrimp keeper! 😍🦐 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting carbon rilis, but I think the red rilis definitely pop against the black sand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) looking cute! I spent ages to decide whether I should go for orange rilis or orange sakuras. It can be really hard to decide on which you wanna keep :D reds in a planted tank with a dark substrate sounds like a better option to me too Edited January 13, 2023 by Lennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could have the skittles mix and they'd stay all those colors. There are so many cool ones! I see more shrimp tanks in my future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerceptivePesce Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I was sad to learn that skittles packs revert to original boring color too. Shrimp are like play-do, if you mix all the colors together they just turn brown 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like little candy canes. 🥰 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
