What arrives, according to the people who opened the box

All alive, all active

Shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday morning in a heat-packed box. Every single shrimp was swimming when I opened the bag. They were picking at my hair algae within the hour.

Perfect for a classroom tank

I run a 7th grade ecology unit and these are the ideal invertebrate to observe — transparent bodies mean the kids can literally watch digestion happen. Arrived healthy and the care sheet was genuinely useful.

Cold weather order, zero losses

It was 14 degrees the day these landed. Insulated box, 72-hour heat pack, and a bag of water that was still warm. I've had worse results ordering in July from other sellers.

Good feeders, good size

Bought these as feeders for a pair of adult angelfish. Sizes were consistent and nothing looked sickly. Docked a star only because I wanted a few more juveniles in the mix.

Our shop's regular supplier now

We move a few hundred a month and the counts have been accurate or slightly over every time. Communication before shipping day is the part other wholesalers get wrong.
