Neocaridina Skittle Pack- looking for new shrimp for my tank

[chamomilet3a]

I'm looking to buy a skittle pack of mixed neocaridina shrimp but every website I've seen so far is so pricey. I currently have 3 red, 2 blue, and a yellow. I want to expand my colors in my tank. If anyone knows of a website that has decent prices and live guarantee please lmk. ty

I'd recommend Aquatic Arts. They have mixed color shrimp combos going at about $4 per shrimp. They also have a mixed color combo of more high-quality colors for about $7 per shrimp. They have a live guarantee, and they sometimes do sales that lower those prices.

Just so you know, no matter what store you use, it'll be somewhat pricey due to the shipping and handling costs. You're also not likely to find cherry shrimp for less than $4 anywhere unless they're from local hobbyists, or the brown/clear wild-type coloring.

You can't interact there yet, but take a peek at the buy/sell/trade/free forum. The hobbyists here tend to have good, healthy tanks. Combine that with prolific breeders like guppies/shrimp/snails and you can often find 'overstock' bargains. I really like my LFS, but they're up to $8/ea. for a pretty standard looking RCS, which I think is just craziness.

When I first started with shrimp got a mix from Bioaquatix. They were reasonably priced

I've had good luck with eBay.

Give AquaHuna a try, they sell smaller quantities if interested (10 assorted for $28 + $12 shipping).
