Shrimp arrived in great health and ready to go. This always is the case with Teacher's Pet.
From the packing to the livestock you can tell the amount of care for the animals.
And this color varient is gorgeous.
I ordered 10 but received 12! One sadly passed but the other 11 are doing very well. I love the beautiful glittery pattern on their backs, seem to really love algae wafers, I can draw out all 11 with half a wafer. I've had them for about a week and one even arrived berried! So excited for new little banana boys in my tank! 🍌🦐
I absolutely love my new little shrimp friends. They look exactly as pictured and are so delightful. All shrimp arrived alive (after being shipped across the country) and they included an extra, and an adorable little leopard ramshorn. And as if that wasn’t enough, there were 4 teeny tiny babies in the bag as well! Everyone has settled well and they are zooming all around and thriving.
I am so very pleased and will absolutely order again in the future.
I always come back here to buy shrimp! Great service and quality! I have ordered from teachers pet multiple times and I am always more than happy with my shrimp!
Excellent shrimp and a great breeder! Answered all questions I had and was a pleasure to deal with.
