Beautiful, Happy, Healthy Pinnochio shrimp. These shrimp are known for their ability to consume a lot of algae, and are perfect for planted tanks.

The parameters we keep them at are approximately PH 7.0, TDS 250, GH 8-10, KH 3-6. They will survive and thrive in a wide range of water conditions. These conditions are often met by simply using your local tap water and treating with a dechlorinator.
Shrimp are peaceful scavengers that do best in tanks with only shrimp. While your fish may not actively harass/eat them, at least early on, shrimp will tend to hide when they see a fish they are unsure of overhead. Shrimp will spend most of their time foraging on the bottom of the tank, on decorations like wood and stone, and on plants and mosses. It is very important to not overfeed them as this can cause your water quality to deteriorate. Only feed them as much as they will consume in 2 hours. Any leftover food after that time should be removed.

Pinocchio red nose shrimp
Shrimp arrived quickly, packaged perfectly, and not one DOA, plus the extra that they include just in case. So definitely 5 stars for that. They went into a heavily planted, well established aquarium and adjusted to it perfectly. With so many hiding places, it's rare to see more than one or two at any given time, but when you do, they seem perfectly healthy and happy. The only reason that I knocked off one star is because on numerous other online sites and forums, they overwhelmingly say that pinocchio red nose shrimp require brackish water to thrive and live very long. Nowhere was that mentioned here in their care description. So I guess time will tell on how well the do down the road. All seems great so far though.

New favorite tank mate
I was thoroughly impressed with my first experience. 7 arrives and 4 made it. They give the tank an extra pop. I can’t say I know what I’m talking about when it comes to how they look and quality cause I’m new to the fish world. But I can say shipping wasn’t exaggerated but wasn’t amazon. I’m pleased. With packing, tons of news paper shavings they all survived shipping. Other than that great experience. Will buying these specific species in about a month. I like these shrimp above the cherry.

Great experience, would buy again
I'm very pleased with my shipment of Pinocchio shrimp. I had been worried about them since it was really cold when the delivery was scheduled, but they arrived early and were all healthy. I will order from them in the future for sure.
