Beautiful Shrimp in excellent condition

I purchased 2 of these shrimp, in my large order of shrimp. They were of excellent quality and colour. I was given an extra shrimp as Shrimp Corner felt the shrimp were slightly smaller. I was so pleased with not only the shrimp but the care and time taken packing the shrimp and posting.<br /> <br /> Within hours of adding the shrimp to my tank, they were out and active. Highly recommended

Best shrimps ever

Ordered theses shrimps after a long conversation with the store. They managed to sort out 20 for me and get the transported safely to my house. They arrived and are thriving in my aquarium and they looks soo good. Some of the best shrimps I've ever Ordered. Got a mix of both low medium and high grade shrimp and so far you can't tell them apart they all look stunning. Couldn't have been happier with my purchase.
