Processed and shipped very quickly, well packaged, shrimp arrived healthy and active.
All arrived alive and looked great
I received my shrimp on 02/05 and after a full week feel confidant about this review.I found this seller on Reddit and given the good reviews there decided to give it a try. The shrimp arrived well packaged even in the colder weather and all 22 where healthy and kicking (2 extra where given in case of DOA's). One shrimp was even berried upon arrival and at the time of review still has all of her eggs which shows the consideration the seller took to mitigate stress during the shipping process. The shrimp are incredibly active and the colors really brightened up after the first few days. Will definitely buy from them again if I decide to make another shrimp tank.
They have beautiful color and very healthy. Super active ever since adding them to my tank. Received one berried female as well! Cant say enough good things about my experience and will definitely be ordering again.
Couldn’t be happier with my blood orange neos. They’re very well taken care of and super active. Super bright colors. Very high quality.
