We do not issue refunds on live plants once they have gone into your tank. Please make sure you have the correct tank conditions for the plants you are planning on buying.


When do you ship snails and shrimp
We ship snails and shrimp on  Monday  only. This helps to prevent them sitting at the post office over the weekend. The animals  well being is our primary concern. 


Do you guarantee live arrival for shrimp?
​Yes, while mailing can sometimes be unpredictable we will always stand by our promise to provide the best service possible. In the unfortunate event your shrimp are dead on arrival we will require clear pictures of the shrimp within 2 hours of the delivery time in the unopened bag.  We will refund the cost of each individual  shrimp that was dead on arrival, this does not  include shipping costs. In the unlikely event all the shrimp are dead on arrival we will refund the total cost of the shrimp minus our shipping costs. We unfortunately cannot send replacement shrimp due to the high shipping costs. Please ensure if you order shrimp you will be home to receive them. If the temperature is below 68F please add a heat pack to your order. If the temperature is above 80F please add a cold pack to your order. If a heat or cold pack is not ordered the live arrival guarantee is void.

We don't offer returns.  Live animals are a commitment and should be throughly researched before purchasing.
