*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client – we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RECEIVING ONLY MALES OR ONLY FEMALES OR JUVENILE Shrimp.

Feeding Shrimp:

Firstly, we advise feeding Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis) twice a day. Shrimp King Atyopsis and Bacter AE really does a good job at getting these guys fed. You can also feed First Bites.

Our parameters of the Vampire Shrimp (Atya gabonensis):

Acclimating Shrimp:

For instance, if the shrimp has been in transit for:

• < 48 hours we recommend slowly acclimating shrimp with the “drip method”.
• 3+ days, we recommend floating the bag for 15 minutes. Subsequently, “pour” the shrimp into a fish net over a bucket. Therefore, you can catch all the shrimp in the net and let the water collect in the bucket. Further, you can add the shrimp to your tank.
