Great quality shrimp acclimatised well
The half a dozen Aust Amano shrimp that I purchased arrived in good health and were very lively, but very shortly after being released into the tank I could not see any of them anywhere. The following day was a totally differnet story with them all in various parts of the tank working away cleaning up. But they have all found hiding spots which I am yet to discover and they will often disappear. Have had one or two moult since arriving so I guess they are quite happy in there new home. Great fun watching them when they are busy and with there general activity.
I bought four of these giants and I am so glad I did....all over 3cm long .... once acclimated....I put them in and they were straight to work...if you call eating all day "work"....thanks Abquatics ...very impressive specimens.....as always packaging and delivery was excellent and safe .....which is a priority with livestock
Brilliant
