very small cherry shrimp

hi you can seperate them in a breeder box so they can grow up and become nice red shrimp
make sure you check all the bags because some baby male shrimp might not have a lot of color

thanks! i’ve never seen those. do you buy them already made? or buy the mesh and do it yourself? i saw one live shrimp last night. the tank is well planted with fake plants and ceramic logs, huts etc. hope the little guy makes it.

The mesh pre-filters are ready made, you just have to specify which size you need

As already suggested above, check your filter(s) for small shrimp that may have been sucked into them

hi thanks for replies- i did look into the bags the shrimp arrived in, before i opened the bags. didn’t see any in 2 of the bags. after i opened the bags, i checked the folds of the bag opening clamped with a metal ring. i think they could be caught in those cinched folds. also a piece of screen mesh was in each bag. the shipment was delayed they said due the thanksgiving holiday. i don’t know how long they were in transit. even if they died in transit there should be dead bodies or body parts. idk
i’m not pursuing the seller with another report. partly due to my lack of research in shrimp they died or weren’t included. they wanted a picture of a dead animal. i had emailed a pic of the empty floating bag. but that’s not proof of error on their side. learned my lesson- do more research before buying a live creature. feel bad about the missing/ dead shrimp.

where did you order then from?

i think they are reliable too. like i said- i assumed the shrimp would be bigger- so my fault getting into such a delicate creature without better knowledge. thanks for your replies. i appreciate it.
