Aquatic Arts Live Vampire Shrimp | Freshwater Aquarium Filter Shrimp | Safe for Tetra, Guppy & Betta Fish Tanks

The seller is great! United Post was late on the delivery day and simply rescheduled the delivery for the next day!!!! With a box of live fish!!!! Absolutely fantastic, especially with freezing temperatures outside. I wrote to the seller, he was very responsive and asked me to keep him updated so that he could issue a refund if necessary. In the end, I took time off work, waited all day, and the delivery only arrived at 6 PM the next day and was left outside on the steps. Luckily, I was checking the entrance every 15 minutes or so while waiting for the delivery. The box was outside for no more than 10 minutes, but when I unpacked it, the water temperature had dropped to 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Within acceptable limits. I performed drip acclimatization, fed these funny lobsters a little, and released them into the main aquarium. A month has passed now, they are sitting in their burrows and filtering the water, I sometimes feed them with a syringe with shrimp food or give them pellets. The color is still light, but otherwise everything is fine with the shrimp!

All alive and look good 👍😊

I couldn’t be happier with my two vampire shrimp. These guys are easily the most unique and mesmerizing creatures in my tank. Instead of chasing food like typical shrimp, they sit perched like tiny sentinels, fanning the water with their delicate “hands” to catch anything drifting by. It’s honestly relaxing just watching them do their thing. They brought a whole new vibe to my aquarium — calm, almost hypnotic. Both are healthy, active, and seem completely comfortable in their environment. They get along great with my other tank inhabitants and add a natural, almost wild feel to the setup.

Super sad I spent $50 and it died in less than 24 hours. I followed the directions perfectly, My water parameters were perfect. I have no clue what went wrong.

I’ve had them for about a month now. They arrived packaged carefully and I drip acclimated them over a period of three hours. They are healthy and thriving. No complaints. I’ll be ordering a few more when they’re back in stock.

I’ve purchased two of these Vampire shrimp from Aquatic Arts in two separate occasions. I’ve also purchased lots of other shrimp and snails from them, as well. These Vampire shrimp are great, they’re super cute and a joy to watch with their little fan hands. I received small sized shrimp, which I was very happy with. I wanted younger vampires so that I can watch them grow and develop over time. Aquatic Arts is superb at packaging their live shipments, of all the times I’ve ordered from them, I’ve never had anything dead on arrival. I was especially impressed with my last vampire shrimp order from them. The shipment was delayed in transit due to COVID19 and the poor thing ended up stuck in the system for 5 days. It’s the start of summer so I was truly expecting my first dead arrival. However, thanks to Aquatic Arts’ great packaging, I got my newest little Vampire alive and well.

Love this little guy! So cute when he is feeding and trust me, he holds his own amongst the snails and the frogs he lives with. The biggest bummer is that he is so reclusive, I very rarely see him.

Arrived fast, good insulation and comes with acclimation instructions. Both shrimp were alive and active 5 stars
