Although it's rare that shrimps will arrive DOA, it does occur due to the process of shipping and the amount of stress it puts on the shrimps so we always recommend overnight shipping. In an event of an DOA, a refund or reshipment will be issued for only the DOA (not including the shipping cost).
To Claim DOA:
I ordered 20 of them and they all arrived in good shape and zooming around. These little guys are great! Now that they've aged a bit some are showing red and yellow stripes and spots, and two of them have eggs after ~3 weeks (no confirmed surviving fry yet). Would definitely buy again!
These shrimp are amazing! But be warned…..they are like popcorn. I lost afew that managed to jump out of the tiniest gaps.
No DOAs and all swimming actively
The little short nose shrimp came in great condition and have been a great addition to my tank!
