They all arrived healthy! They are awesome to watch. Love them!!!
Second time ordering Pom Pom crabs. All arrived alive and healthy again! Drip acclimated and still doing well. My go to place when I’m in a crabby mood!
I ordered my crab with two rasboras and the rasboras both arrived dead. However the refund was quickly received and customer service was great. My crab on the other hand is very lively and cute!!! He is the first one I’ve had so I’m learning all the quirks these creatures have. I enjoy it!!!
I had one crab die during shipping. I contacted the company through email, followed the steps and I’m still waiting for a reply. This was almost two weeks ago.
Short lives indeed. I’ve had 4 of them. Fun to watch them go about their business but only lived 2 days
