The 10 pack shrimp arrived double packaged with a warmer in the box, all the paper stuffing was absolutely drenched but otherwise seemed fine.
One dead shrimp, which was okay since they sent 11 of the guys and a piece of mesh for them to hang on to.
This was a second order of 10 Bloody Mary shrimp from a different supplier, I was hoping to have a larger gene pool from the beginning but their initial appearance did concern me. I'm no expert, but they had more of an opaque bright right shell as opposed to the more translucent shell with deeper red of typical Bloody Mary. Only time will tell.
These shrimp were drip acclimated over three hours then added to a dark planted tank.
We're six days on and two more of the shrimp have died. I can't be 100% sure they're from the same stock but, again, opaque bright red shells. No signs of the white ring of death, but I'm keeping a close eye on them now.
A bit worried the critters had a hard time with the travel, a snail I ordered also seemed DOA and hasn't moved since it got here.
The snail arrived with a second empty shell, which I thought was weird. I drip acclimated the snail over 3 hours then added the little guy to the tank.
It's been six days, no movement. Their little trapdoor has been partially open the entire time.
Today I finally retrieved the snail and poked at the trapdoor, no movement. But also no smell. I'm leaving it in a breeder box for easier access but I'm pretty sure the little guy has been dead from the beginning.
It's too bad, the patterning on the shell and underside looked gorgeous
I won’t lie I had a rough start with purchase, you see I purchased the rabbit snails along with a skittles mix of neocaridinia shrimp. when they arrived the extra rabbit snail in the bag was dead, all others weren’t lookin so good. I removed the snails immediately as ammonia/nitrite levels were very high and introduced them to my water fast so they would have a better chance, all seemed fine and they seemed to be doing much better. After a few hours of acclimation with both shrimp and snails I added them to my 5 gallon set up, everything seemed great, one night I lost a snail and then the next night the other, it created a lot of turmoil with the shrimp which cost me a good few of those but the shrimp are soldiers which is why I purchased more. I have one rabbit snail still alive, his name is Marcus and he is thriving.
She came very well packaged, healthy, and settled in extremely well. Her coloring is beautiful, and she loves exploring!
Purchased 6 black panda shrimp. They arrived well packaged and alive. Beautiful addition to my tank.
Betta came well packaged and on time. The Betta is exactly what I wanted, beautiful colors and personality. Thank k you.
They are the perfect addition to my aquarium. they love the plants, and are little cleaning machines.
I LOVE THEM!
Sellers are so kind and helpful, shrimp always come so well packaged and happy
Put them in my tank today all seem alive and happy!! Will definitely order more in the future!
This is definitely one of the coolest shrimp out of the batch I purchased. Unlike the colorful flair and patterns you'd normally be drawn to it can contrast with your plants and hard scape, but also orange and black are just a color combination that never fail, you'll love the its bright beady eyes against the black shell.
These medaka are gorgeous. They shine and glimmer. So cute and all healthy.
Absolutely Beautiful, will definately buy from Shrimply Fintastic again and recommend others to do so too if your looking for awesome shrimp.
They arrived sooner than expected, packaged very very well and the quality of the Shrimp is amazing. Totally satisfied and would highly recommend to others to order from Shrimply Fintastic because I know I will be again. 😊
I had ordered shrimp a few weeks ago in my order was impacted by the power outage. I was in no hurry to get my shrimp as the quality of Shrimply Fintastic shrimp makes them worth waiting for. This is my first time with caridina shrimp, too, so I figured it certainly wouldn’t hurt the tank to mature a little longer.
My beautiful shrimp arrived yesterday. They were all alive , colorful and feisty. The heat pack that accompanied them was still very warm. I dripped acclimated them for a few hours before releasing them into their tank. I wasn’t going to rush things at all with these new shrimp. Today they are happily eating biofilm and exploring their new tank. They have beautiful, bright orange eyes and most of them are a dark blue with black stripes.
Thank you so much for the beautiful healthy and robust shrimp. I will definitely be ordering more from you because I’m addicted to these adorable little things with their bright orange eyes in the quality of your shrimp is impeccable.
I love LOVE the shrimp I have ordered from here. They all came so well packaged I doubt they even realized they were in motion from west to east coast. Every single one of them came alive and are very active in their new home. A very cool addition to any shrimp lovers watery home.
I ordered a 10 pack of red rili shrimp, they all arrived alive and there were actually 14! nice color and active considering I live in Wisconsin and shipping was a day late in delivery. I reached out to let them know it wasn’t delivered in the 2 days so they knew, I got a response right away and thanking me for letting them know this and if there were any issues to reach back out and let them know. Which I did with different shrimp that didn’t fair so well only 6 made it but I reached back out with pictures and I received a refund for those right away.
I will be ordering for here again just might be more aware of the weather when ordering!!
Paid for 6, received 8! Beautiful out of the bag even after shipping.
My shrimp came in on a pretty cold day after Black Friday. They came with a nice hot pack, packaged very well. They even arrived with full color, happy and went straight to eating when they hit the tank. Two were berried already - a few days later they still have their eggs. Minimal stress and great quality. Will order again!
Decided to splurge on these gorgeous guys on black Friday, they arrived healthy and packed with a heat pack to make sure they wouldn't get too cold, which was much appreciated with the cold snap in my area.
Seller was amazing and responsive. All 15+ arrived, packaged to perfection. Extras to cover die offs but all arrived healthy and a week in are grazing and active. Great size on them, probably 12 weeks old and look great
Excellent shipping time from the lower 48 to Alaska, 2 days. Shrimp arrived in two separate bags, which were double bagged, and in a styrofoam box with newspaper and a heat pack, which was much appreciated given the temperature. All 20 shrimp plus extras arrived healthy. Drip acclimated and introduced them into the tank. The shrimp have that beautiful blue I expected from an “extreme” blue bolt. All shrimp were juvies, which is preferred by me. I’ll be ordering more from this company as I expand my shrimp tanks.
