About these shrimp
A recurring delivery of live ghost shrimp on the week you choose, at 12% below one-time pricing. Change your count, skip a month, or cancel from your account at any time.
Subscribers get first access to seasonal stock, priority handling during extreme-weather weeks, and a no-questions replacement policy on the rare loss rather than a claim process.
Every shipment follows the same conditioning, counting and packing standard as a one-time order — the schedule is the only thing that changes.
Acclimation instructions
Follow these in order. Most arrival losses that are not caused by shipping are caused by skipping step four.
- 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
Dim the lights
Turn off the aquarium light and work in low light for the next hour. Bright light on top of transit stress is the most common avoidable loss.
- 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
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
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
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.

Customer reviews
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.
