You won't be able to order from this site, but it gives you an idea of what certain shrimp look like and their care.
Keep in mind Dwarf Puffers are rather nippy, even in heavily planted tanks. They also don't mix well with shrimp. (I can't even keep ghost shrimp in my tank; the only shrimp my puffer hasn't killed is my bamboo shrimp, who's at least 10x his size.)

Really like the reds against that substrate, wood, and greens; nice job!
The order got duplicated. Luckily, I had a tank ready for the shrimp. This time I received 15 live shrimp, 3 doa. I'm putting them in the fluval edge 12, as there is a slight algae issue, and adding another 15 shrimp to the 4g would overload the bb. The fluval edge has black gravel, so hopefully that will bring out the color in the shrimp better.
Once again, packed very well:

This was the response I got after contacting them about the duplicated shipment:
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for getting in touch!
I am honestly not sure how this could have happened. I looked up our
email history but did not see any emails concerning that replacements
needed to be sent. I'm sure this was just a glitch in our shipping
system as I have never seen this happen before with any order.
Since this was a mistake on our part please feel free to keep the
shrimp on us
There is no need to return or send payment for them,
please keep them
Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention though! I will be
sure to look into this further.

I officially have 15 free Sakura Cherry Shrimp. Just like the first batch they were healthy and well colored. Will definitely order more shrimp, and likely fish too, from them in the future.
I'm looking into Blue Diamonds and Crystal Reds. From what I've read my water should be good for crystal reds, as the nitrate is 0 because of the plants, they have plenty of algae and biofilm to feed on, and the pH is low enough because of the co2.
