Build your own shrimp starter pack: Pick which aquarium shrimp you want and then your order will come with the following:
i got the starter pack for 20 red cherries along with another 10 red cherry shrimps. Ended up with 32 alive and 1 dead. Another die the next day from probably failing to molt. The rest that survived looks healthy and strong. A mix of colors ranging from red cherry shrimp to sakuras. I'm happy with my order.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience ordering Flip Aquatics’ Neocaridina Starter Pack. They sent a few extras, and almost all survived acclimation, including a berried female! The shrimp were beautiful — most were rich, opaque blues that really stand out in the tank. Very few needed to be moved to the ‘wild’ tanker , showing that Flip Aquatics truly prioritizes quality. Healthy, active, and carefully packed — I highly recommend them to anyone serious about starting a thriving Neocaridina colony.
I decided to purchase the starter pack so my lone hitchhiker shrimp could have some pals. They were all alive on arrival and there was even a few extra. Unfortunately, a few died after they settled in, but I attribute that to inexperience on my part. I’ve never had shrimp before and I find they’re fun to watch :) I’m very excited because one of the females is now berried.
I am extremely happy with my with my shrimp starter pack from flip aquatics. I am a beginner and have failed at keeping shrimp. I tried 2 different companies and both times my shrimp arrived dead. Was never able to get ahold of those companies to get a refund either. I was about to give up on shrimp but decided to give it one last try and ordered from flip aquatics. I could not be happier with my decision. All of the shrimp arrived alive and in very good condition. I followed all the instructions to aclimate them and to my surprise (because I am a beginner), 3 weeks later and I have not had any shrimp deaths at all. And the best part of all, I saw my first berried shrimp today so I’m super exited.
All shrimp arrived carefully packed. Not a single death. Was very pleased. They’re actively helping me raise Cory Fry.
I received my shipment of red cherry shrimp a few weeks ago (a day ahead of time, per usual, with 2 extra per bag). There were no casualties. After carefully following the acclimation directions, I netted my new little buddies into their new 10 gallon home. Mayhem ensued, LOL! I have never had red cherries before, but I do still have a few Bloody Mary males from my dwindled colony. These cherry shrimp are so lively and fun to watch! My sad Bloody Mary bachelors are now happy boys again, and I counted 5 berried females yesterday. Wow! I was hoping the RCS might be a little hardier than the BMs, as my thought is that maybe less culling is involved in their breeding? Fingers crossed for some babies! There has been healthy molting so far, and I have not noticed any dead shrimpies (but I have 2 Mystery snails, so…) Several of the RCS females are a very nice opaque, fiery red! I hope for some BM/RCS hybrid babies.
New to shrimp keeping here, but really pleased with my choice if the bloody mary neo starter kit.
The shrimp were well packaged in a breather bag and insulation, 12/10 made it alive and well. Large females with great color, and lively males with a mesh to cling to.
~2hours drip acclimation for my 78F tank.
The indian almond leaves are a good size, not too large for my 3.5 gallon
The BugPro food sample seems to be their favorite!
We are practically neighbors, as Flip Aquatics is only an hour away. Shipping takes a day and packaging is top notch. Received my 12+2 yesterday and after following drip acclimating from Flip's youtube videos, hours later they were introduced and immediately went to grazing. I love fish, but this is all new ro me other than Having a Coral banded shrimp. I absolutely love these guys and so relaxing. Already planning a Tiger setup. Thanks everyone 🙂
Ordered my starter pack with 10 Fantasy Blue shrimp on July 19 and received them on July 22 (ordered w/fish so I paid for overnight shipping). Came with 12, one was DOA so I removed it and added shrimp prep right away. Drip acclimated the rest and got them in their new home. They are an incredible deep blue! I think they're doing fine...the tank is heavily planted so I only ever see maybe 5 at one time but I'm guessing they're just hiding. I've never found a body but do find molts pretty frequently. And a few days ago I spotted a few shrimplets! Super excited and hopeful that my colony will grow! Pictures show color of an adult berried female, and a shrimplet (under arrow) next to an adult tail (circled).
Good things, 2 of them are pregnant. And one of them I would actually rank as a painted legs. Also, they all survived shipping.
Bad things... Almost half of them are either over a year old grandpas and have already developed the age line down their backs.
5 of them are pretty low on the colors are are more transparent. And only one I could tell has decent painted legs. Considering I could have just gotten the crystals. I feel a bit jipped on these. They are decent. But this batch just reminds me of cull low quality colors shrimp. The pictures are misleading. Expect lower quality colors, and older ones.
Hey Michael,
I'm sorry about your disappointment. We sell them as cherry shrimp for the reason you listed. Since they are imported, it is hard for us to control the colors. So, we order a mix of of red Neocaridina (cherry, sakura, fire red and painted fire red). What you receive is a random batch of these shrimp. Also, they will lose a lot of color during shrimp and take a week or two to get their color back. I hope they brighten up and you are satisfied in the next few weeks.

My first order ever from flip! All was well, cute candy. Shrimp all arrived alive, healthy. Got 12 of each, ordered 10 Bloody Mary and 10 Pumpkin. Starter pack is a steal Bloody Mary x10 with all that stuff for 10 bucks more! Great Job Rob, and thanks Jeff for the packaging. 10/10 🙌
I bought the 20 RCS starter using the Independence Day code. The package arrived a day earlier than expected. I opened it and to my surprise, even with the heat in Douglas County, Colorado, there were no DOAs. I received 24 RCS, all bouncing around in the bags, including one that was berried. After acclimating, I lost just one (probably from stress). The shrimp net was very handy, especially when moving the shrimp to the tank.
After two days of being in the tank, the shrimp are very lively. They have colored up nicely since I received them, and I couldn't be happier with them. I received a selection of 3 NorthFin shrimp foods and the shrimp seem to like them all. Thanks to Rob and the team for all the amazing shrimp.
P.S. Thx for the Swedish Fish.
On April 3rd I ordered the starter pack of 10 fantasy blue shrimp, they shipped the following Wednesday and arrived by Thursday (one day shipping), i received 12 shrimp 2 of which were berried but unfortunately one of the berried females was a DOA it has now been a month and all shrimp that arrived alive are doing well along with the babies of the surviving berried female. I also received some food sample, a net, almond leaves, and florin bacter one with shrimp prep, So far i have not noticed any more breeding but fingers crossed.I have them in a 6 gallon water box rimless tank with a hillstream loach, 2 anubis nana, one java fern, a lot of dwarf water lettuce and some java moss no heater with a sponge filter.
Love them they all looked so so amazing and alive... they were all doing so good I had just gotten them about like 3 days ago. But with deep sorrow 😭😭 I lost about about 8 of them do too my corydoras and my heart is broken I never meant this to happen so I rehome all the Cory's and saved about 7 of them. I had up to 15 my heart is in pieces 😭😭 but the quality of your guys's service is always amazing I always recommend Aquatics.
