Orange Sunkist Shrimp are great beginner aquarium shrimp and feature a vibrant orange coloration. They are very hardy shrimp that we keep in our shrimp room. Orange Sunkist Shrimp is the name most hobbyists use for all shrimp with a bright orange hue. While most Orange Sunkist pet shrimp look similar, they come from several different genetic lines and backgrounds. Our Orange Sunkist shrimp have a fantastic orange color and their line comes from high-quality breeding stock. They are almost solid orange, while some can show the rili pattern. The care for Orange Sunkist Shrimp is typical of most Neocaridina species. They do not require special attention and tend to be accepting of a multitude of water parameters
Common Name: Orange Sunkist shrimp, Sunkist orange shrimp, pumpkin shrimp, orange pumpkin shrimp
These little guys came in perfect and I got 1 extra. They've settled so well in my 10 gallon I have yet to see all 6 of them at once!
Got 5+1 orange sunkist shrimp almost a week ago now. They all came alive and active and still are even though I don't see all 6 at one time. Lots of plants and hiding spots! But I love the bright orange color. Thanks flip aquatics!
received 11 young shrimp all with great color. no losses before or after acclimation, very hardy. bag water had scuds and bladder snails inside, which are no problem for me, but should be noted if youre trying to avoid any "pests". packed safely.
I was so pleased with the first 5-pack(they sent 6 ) of Orange Pumpkins I bought in February that I had to buy another 5-pack(again they sent 6) to flesh out my breeding colony. These shrimp grow to be a vibrant orange and the ones I've gotten even have orange legs. I'm over-the-moon-pleased!
I’ve ordered pumpkin shrimp 2 times from Flip Aquatics. They always package the shrimp with care and detailed instructions on how to properly acclimate. In the first order all arrived happy and healthy but in the second order two arrived DOA but they have impeccable customer service and responded right away and gave me a refund for the two DOA shrimp. All around great company!
All of my shrimp delivered alive and healthy. they were an assortment of juveniles and adults, I do not know how many are male or female but I don’t really mind, they’re so fun to just watch. Flip customer service was so nice and they were packaged with care with detailed instructions on how to properly acclimate. The picture taken was day one of putting them in the tank
I just got my shrimp today and I couldn't be happier. I received my ordered 10 pumpkin shrimp in addition to 2 extras they gave me which was a great bonus.
While drip acclimating them and watching them for any issues I found babies! One of the females must've been pregnant in transit and released them in the bag. And they weren't dead!! I found 4 and unfortunately shortly after I realized they were there one passed. The other three are alive and well and in a separate grow out bin until they're a little bigger or my Java moss is big enough to hide them.
I ordered 10 and got 12. They all arrived very healthy and active. Absolutely amazing little critters. The next day they were all still doing wonderful. Great Orange Color!!!
I ordered 10, and requested a mix of males/females to hopefully breed. These will be helping stock at least 4 tanks (5g, 36g, 40g, and 55g in additional to their own tank). I'm extremely hopeful, as I received 12 healthy and active shrimps, with at least 1 berried female. They've adjusted well to their new home so far (so fun to see them jumping to "hang out" in the water sprite and java moss.) I will definitely be ordering again.
I ordered these shrimp around January 4th and wanted to wait a couple of weeks to give a better review once the shrimp settled in. I bought 10 USA Bred Pumpkin shrimp which arrived within the 2-3 day shipping time that was provided. the shrimp were sealed in a breather bag with no causalities however the bag was fairly cold despite coming with a heat block. I attribute that to my local weather in the midwest where it is regularly below 20F during this time of year. Despite this, everyone was alive and active. I drip acclimated the shrimp for 2.5 hours and moved them into the tank. Since then, everyone is molting and swimming all over the tank. This is my first time keeping shrimp so I think research on good water parameters and buying quality shrimp from Flip Aquatics has been what has helped me start of strong with no deaths so far.
Specs on shrimp:
I was really surprised how colorful the shrimp were compared to the photos online. They don't do them justice. As expected with shrimp, there is a lot of variation in deep redish-orange to a more transparent yellow orange. Regardless, I am really happy with the color output in these shrimp and how they have perked up in color since getting more comfortable in there tank. Unfortunately, I really want to breed shrimp and I think out of 11 total shrimp I got, only 1 is male and the rest are saddled females. Hopefully I can get them to breed in due time but we shall see. (The latter point isn't really a complaint on flip aquatics, I just wish we could request ratios for the folks that want to try breeding). With due time, hopefully that 1 male can get my colony growing. Attached are some pics that I took early on around week 2.

Ordered 10, received 12 yound adults. All of them have been doing great for the last 30 days. They are in heavily planted 30 gallon cube and I'm hoping to establish a thriving colony. Very nice orange color. I love watching my 3D shrimp channel. Good bye cable!!!
Had a few DOA when they arrived but Tyler was amazing and settled everything quickly. The rest of the shrimp are happy and healthy and already making lots of baby. The shrimp have a nice orange color and look great!
Just gotten them yesterday. Woke up this morning and got 3 death. Must be the stress in shipping. I hope I don't see anymore. I got in on the 50% off deal and got 20! They threw in 2 extra. So buy with confident!
arrived quickly and I good shape.
This is my 3rd batch of neocaridina I’ve ordered over the past 7 years. Once again, a very healthy batch of about 18 shrimp. Ordered 15, lost one in transit and 1 a few days after transition. They are healthy, ravenous and active. They are acclimating so well. The only area of improvement is that the selection of Sunkist orange sent could be more vibrant. Only 1-3 had a deep orange color. Most were washed out. Very different experience from my cherry shrimp and blue dream batches. But I still believe in the quality of Flip Aquatics. I have had great success in the colony growing to hundreds over the years as a beginner.
Order from here about 10 times and have had zero deaths. The Swedish fish is always an added bonus.
Loves these shrimp they're great
Orange Sunkist shrimp
None of these survived longer than a week unfortunately
I ordered 20 received 24. They all arrived alive but 2 died during the hours I was trying to get the bag room temp. The bag was very cold in high 50’s. But no problem as was sent 24. The rest have been in tank for 2 weeks and apparently are doing well. Hard to know how many are still alive as they hide but the vast majority are still there and colors are nice and vibrant. I recommend Flip, the entire process was easy and I will use again for future shrimp.
All arrived alive and looked good! New shrimp for my tank!
all were killed by the F Endler.
Shipped very quickly, had the one extra die. there was 5 completely fine amd had babies on the way! Always happy with my orders from flip!
