• Best kept in groups of 8 or more to promote natural behavior

⸻
Diet:
Feeds on algae, biofilm, shrimp-specific pellets, spirulina, and blanched vegetables like spinach and zucchini. A diverse diet keeps their coloration rich and their immune system strong.
⸻
Tank Size & Grouping:

I had an excellent experience with this website. The quality of both the aquatic plants and Bloody Mary shrimp exceeded expectations.
The plants arrived healthy, well-rooted, and free from pests or melt. They adapted quickly to my tank, contributing to a very natural and pristine aquascape.
The Bloody Mary shrimp were of premium grade with deep coloration, active behavior, and zero visible stress on arrival. Most importantly, they acclimated smoothly and have since bred successfully, which clearly reflects their quality and proper handling before delivery.
Overall, the combination of high-quality livestock, healthy plants, and reliable packaging has significantly improved both the visual appeal of my tank and the success of my breeding setup.
Highly recommended for anyone serious about aquascaping or shrimp keeping.

I was hunting for a rare aquatic plant and came across Tropicalzone, and I’m really happy with the experience. They have a great selection, pack the plants well, and the quality is excellent. Thanks to Tropicalzone, my tanks now have some rare ferns, unusual Bucephalandra varieties (check out Micro Lembah), and even a solid springtail culture that’s keeping my terrariums clean.
Pratham was very responsive and answered all my questions on WhatsApp. He even notified me when rare plant stock arrived. Definitely a great find for aquascaping hobbyists.
