Testimonial

"The shrimp farm was simply awesome. I have been in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years and had multiple mail orders for fish and invertebrates. The service by the shrimp farm was top notch. Their customer service was quick to respond to my inquiries about my order and acted quickly and promptly to a concern I had, which I think says a lot. The shrimp arrived in great condition, neatly packaged, and all healthy and active. Great customer service, great product, and great price. I would not hesitate to refer them to a friend. "
