Ordered in 95 plus degree weather in Florida. I grabbed the box and it was super hot I could barely hold it but when I got inside and opened it ALL 6 of my shrimp were in perfect condition swimming around! I couldn’t afford the amount of ice packs necessary to enjoy the hobby in Florida but Flip Aquatics provided me an ice pack, an additional shrimp, and way more plants than I ordered. I’ve heard many horror stories about ordering online and I think I’ve written two reviews in my entire life but I am thoroughly impressed by their ability to be kind, thoughtful, and accommodating with such a small order. Thank you Faith very much for packing my order with such care including the Swedish fish! Ordering from y’all again without a doubt!!!
I bought some orange pumpkin shrimp, they arrived in terrible shape. I’m not sure what had happened to them before they got to me. Flip Aquatics sent me another shipment. These shrimp arrived healthy and zipping around every where. They were tiny but healthy. They have turned a beautiful orange like the pictures shows them to be. I am Absolutely delighted with them. Thank you Flip Aquatics for your wonderful customer service, fish, shrimp and snails. I will be ordering from you again soon.
I was so pleased with the first 5-pack(they sent 6 ) of Orange Pumpkins I bought in February that I had to buy another 5-pack(again they sent 6) to flesh out my breeding colony. These shrimp grow to be a vibrant orange and the ones I've gotten even have orange legs. I'm over-the-moon-pleased!
After I ordered them, a big winter storm hit. I was worried about them as I had to wait an extra two days to go pick them up at the PO. There were 10+2 decent sized, energetic, healthy guys in the breather bag. They all survived the transfer, too. I’m very satisfied, as always, ordering from Flip Aquatics.
They are great no deaths colored up right away. I have yellow and Emeralds so kinda working my way thru the colors! My first time keeping shrimp successfully and these guys have quality shrimp. What you see is what you get which isn’t always the case elsewhere right?! I love their wide selection of botanicals too. Affordable hardscape. They have a lot for me to choose from and I watch them on YouTube so I know their practices and can trust them to purchase fish from sheimp and snails too
