Got more than what I paid for which I love ❤️! Colorful and lively when they arrived!
Ordered 25 of these lads, 28 came just in case a few passed in shipping. I am very happy with my purchase! They’re currently drip acclimating, and they are a little bit dull in color (stressed from shipping) but no DOAs! I expect them to brighten up within a few days as they get use to their new home. TY teachers pet 🥰
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!
