Freshwater Shrimp for Aquarium

Thank you for all the information. I had no idea the you needed to put a sponge in there to prevent the tank from sucking them in. We had this issue with our guppies when we tried to move them over to a tank someone gave us. Obviously we didn't know what we were doing and there was no manual, lol.

Not to be creepy, but are these the same variety we typically see in the grocery store as well? Not that I would eat my pets, but I was just curious as I've never raised shrimp before.
