At Shrimp Corner we have experiences of selling and posting live shrimp over 14 years. We are not amateur or being cheap when it comes to packing your order. Therefore you can rest assure that your shrimp will be well looked after until their final destination.
In order to ensure their safe journey from our shrimp room to your home, we always pack our shrimp as followed:
- Our packing policy is maximum 12 shrimp per bag, if you order 15+ shrimp, you will see that we always separated them to pack and post
- We use breathing bag where oxygen change occurs and please DO NOT float the bag in your tank, as this will suffocate the shrimp.
- Shrimp bags will be well insulated, padded inside a styrofoam box
- A heat pack will be added if the weather is under 8 degree overnight
- There will be a cardboard box outside of styrofoam box for added protection
- Parcel will be labeled with URGENT stickers, and LIVE FISH FRY sticker to let the Postman know he/she is delivering Live Stock.
- With each SHRIMP ORDER, there will be a free gift for you as a thank you from us. Gifts can be different from time to time and is attached to our leaflet inside the box
- A leaflet with our instructions for you to read, this includes Drip Acclimating Guide as well. Please make sure you read this first prior opening the bag.
At Shrimp Corner, we feed our shrimp once a day, with our Forest Green and Wild Red protein foods. One stick of each type a day, on an alternative basis.
Our foods are specially made for shrimp, and they do not contain anything harmful for your shrimp.
Feed once or twice a day depending on the size of the colony - 1 stick per 15-20 shrimp.
Please remove any left-over food after 24hrs. Or skip the next feeding if there was any left over foods.
If you are going away on holiday or a short break, you can use our Super Bio Bag as a constant food source for your shrimp. You will not have to worry about feeding them when you are away.
Using Indian Almond Leaves and Banana Leaves are also recommended. They added benefits to the tank and providing a constant food source for your shrimp, also with for other purposes
