Choose 25, 50, 100 or 250 per delivery and a delivery week from 1 to 4.

From order to tank

  1. 1Order your pack. Orders placed before noon Eastern on Wednesday will most likely ship that same week.
  2. 2We ship Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from New Smyrna Beach, Florida, so boxes do not sit over a weekend.
  3. 3Open the box on arrival, float the bag to match temperature, then drip acclimate.
  4. 4Net the shrimp into a cycled tank with cover. Never pour shipping water into the aquarium.

Acclimation instructions

Follow these steps to help your shrimp adjust to their new aquarium.

  1. 1

    Open the box immediately

    Unpack on arrival, even if the tank is not ready. Float nothing yet. First look at the bag and note any casualties for a guarantee claim within 4 hours of delivery.

  2. 2

    Dim the lights

    Turn off the aquarium light and work in low light for the next hour. Keep lighting gentle during acclimation.

  3. 3

    Temperature match

    Float the sealed bag in the tank for 20–30 minutes so the shipping water reaches tank temperature. Do not open the bag during this step.

  4. 4

    Drip acclimate for 60–90 minutes

    Pour the shrimp and their water into a clean container and drip tank water in at 2–3 drops per second until the volume has roughly tripled.

  5. 5

    Net them across

    Move the shrimp with a soft net or cup. Never pour shipping water into your aquarium, it carries ammonia from the trip.

  6. 6

    Leave them alone

    Add a piece of blanched vegetable or a bit of biofilm-rich moss, keep the light off for the rest of the day, and skip feeding heavily for 24 hours.
