I was getting nervous because I kept looking at the shipping data and it was held in a facility for a few days, but once it shipped it only took a day to get to my house and arrived in perfect health!
After drip acclimating them they just went about the tank cleaning off the algae, exactly what I needed them for! They look just as high quality as the pictures and there were no dead on arrival or sick shrimp!
Shrimp arrive in great shape. Very healthy. They were packed well.
I ordered them without checking the website. Teacher's Pet reached out to inform me they were out for spring break.
They didn’t have to do that, imo because im willing to wait. It’s worth it.
Highly recommended.
Bright and healthy shrimp!
pleasantly surprised by this shop, that not only sent the right amount of shrimp but also ones of decent size, that were also all ALIVE (😂😂 I've had Experiences buying shrimp online and I'm so glad this shop came through ahah)
Great color and very noticeable.
