Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 300 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the health and vibrant colors of the shrimp, noting their excellent quality upon arrival and how well they thrive in their new tanks. The delivery service is frequently highlighted for its speed, secure packaging, and careful handling, often including heat packs to ensure the animals' well-being during transit. Many appreciate the extra shrimp, complimentary food, and thoughtful gifts like 3D-printed keyrings included with their orders, enhancing the overall purchasing experience. The company's communication and customer service also receive high marks, with people noting the helpfulness and responsiveness of the staff. However, some customers reported issues with shrimp arriving dead or dying shortly after introduction to their tanks, with concerns raised about high nitrate levels in the water they were shipped in. A few reviewers expressed hesitation about ordering again due to these experiences, despite the company's policy of including extra shrimp to account for such situations.

First time buying shrimps on line

First time buying shrimps on line. They had the stock I wanted at a very good price. The parcel arrived the next day. Packaged really well, and in very good condition. A card came with it with some very handy hints and tips. This review is 5 days after they arrived. The shrimps are in my new nano tank and looking amazing. The Bloody Mary shrimps really stand out against the lush green plants.

Quick shipping, best packaging for livestock

Shipping was quick (order shipped on the same day, and shrimp arrived 2 days later using standard delivery) and packaging for the shrimp was immaculate. Weather was cold around the time, so the shrimp were packed in a polystyrene box with a heating pack to keep them warm. Really pleased with the quality and selection of shrimp which are very reasonably priced.

Unfortunately, I ordered 5 pinocchio shrimp and 1 arrived dead on arrival, and only 1 seems to have survived after the first week despite drip acclimating for over 3 hours and having a heavily planted and mature tank. In hindsight, I would have paid extra for the same day delivery to ensure the highest chance of survival, as I read online that these are very sensitive.
