The shrimp are fantastic. High quality and good color. They were packed safely and securely, the delivery arrived about 11 and I didn't arrive home from work until 6:30 and they were all still alive and well. I followed all directions on the website for shrimp acclimation and it is now 3 weeks and the shrimp are all still living and thriving in the new tank.
Everything with the order is good
Quick shipping and all made it alive!
All but two died within three days, my water parameters are fine and I have other shrimp in this same tank that have been thriving. I believe it may have been stress from shipping because the shrimp were brown and blue and very weak upon arrival and that is why I am giving three starts as the ones who survived have fully got their color back and and are very active with a lot of personality with the other shrimp.
These guys are so cute. Sadly one of the five I got didn’t make it (might be because the shipping was far and in different temperatures) but the rest were still healthy. I definitely recommend if you want a few small friends to add in your tank but I’d be slightly cautious about the shipping.
