I’ve ordered these Blue Dream Neos twice from Tropical Treasures Wyo and have been happy with the purchases. I did lose one of them during the drip acclimation process, but I’ve read online that’s not uncommon and Daphne was kind enough to include an extra in the bag in the first place so I wasn’t too upset about it. These shrimp are very active and a great cleanup crew for my planted tank, and two of the females are berried already! Can’t wait to watch my little colony grow.
