Very disappointing experience with Shrimp Up Aquatics. I ordered two Blue Dream breeder packs and received only 5 shrimp instead of the amount I paid for. The shrimp that did arrive were alive and healthy, but they were even shipped inside one of the guppy bags, which was strange. I reached out multiple times by email and submitted a claim to try to get the missing shrimp resolved. After all that, I was told they could resend the shrimp, issue a refund, or provide store credit—but only if I removed my PayPal inquiry first. I shouldn't have to give up the protection of a payment dispute before the company is willing to resolve a shipping error that was their responsibility in the first place. I simply wanted the order I paid for, and instead I've had to spend far too much time trying to get a straightforward mistake corrected. The shrimp themselves arrived healthy, but the way this company handled the problem afterward completely ruined the experience. Based on the customer service and resolution process, I would not order from them again.

Update 10/7/26: The company finally got back to me several weeks later and said they would reship my order if I paid $9.50 for shipping. I agreed, that sounded reasonable. They shipped fairly quickly the following Monday and I received on Tuesday, the next day. Barely any packing in the box, several inches for them to be bounced around. The large bag was full of water (1/2 gallon) and completely packed with dozens of small pieces of moss, so much that I could not see any shimp. I had to run out and buy a 1 gallon round fish bowl, transfer the mess to that, then painstakingly pick out piece by piece by piece of tiny moss pieces, because I wasn't putting that mess in my clean aquascaped tank. In the end I found 4 live shrimp and 9 dead shrimp. Not sure how they died in 24 hours. The temperature was perfect for shipping so it wasn't that. Im not even filling out a DOA form, its not fair to the shrimp, and I am completely done with the company. Cutting my losses and buying local when Im ready to purchase again. (8/18/26) I ordered the 10 pk skittle shrimp. Most were DOA and half eaten. The water was dirty and smelled bad. I also ordered and paid for moss, but did not get. Emails are not responded to. Based on reading lots of reviews, its common to receive dead shrimp, to have missing items, and to be ghosted from the owner.

Worst company ever! The owner won't answer the phone or respond to emails. I ordered fish and capatta leaves over a month ago. The first time he "sent" the order, it never left Lansing. I told him I wanted a full refund and he didn't respond. Just sent me a copy and paste generic email. He JUST NOW supposedly "sent" me the fish and leaves. When they arrived, there were NO FISH! He STILL won't answer the phone or respond to emails! I just want a refund and take my business somewhere else! Never again!

I ordered 5 skittles shrimp, they sent 8. I was concerned because I live in texas and was concerned about the heat in the middle of the summer, but they were packed safely, insulated, and all alive upon receiving them. I lost one of them as they adjusted to their new tank, but the other 7 are thriving! of the 7 they sent, only 4 are actually colorful and the others are gray/clear, but they've been so fun to watch and I'll be ordering more soon. They have been growing/molting regularly and seem very happy. You never know what to get when you order live animals, but these guys have been great! I'll 100% use them again.

My name is Laura Mills. I ordered a Pom Pom crab (which has already died), 5 red, 5 blue, and 5 yellow shrimp (which 2 of those arrived dead). I placed order #45300 on June 30, 2026. I finally received my order on July 9th. As of today, July 22, 2026, I STILL have NOT received my replacement shrimp which they promised to send to me. Their customer service is absolutely horrible! I would suggest you go through a different company to order your animals! I DO NOT recommend Shrimp Up Aquatics.

Maybe this started out as a legitimate business, but it's now the most disorganized dropshipping mess you could imagine. To make a long story short, I never received my order. There was a long email chain of me having a one-sided conversation, which apparently someone was, in fact, reading, because after I threatened to file a chargeback on my credit card, the items I ordered arrived... from Amazon and Aqualeaf Aquatics, respectively. I still never got my moss. This has just been bizarre and exasperating.

I received two orders from them, first one was 10 carbon rili shrimps that all received alive but mostly low quality rilies! The second order was 10 Amano shrimps, there was 2 DOA upon arrival. I took photos and contacted them several times but they never responded! This is how they treat their customers! Don't get fool by those false reviews on their website. I"ll never buy anything from them again! Greedy people

Not only were many of the shrimp I ordered DOA, they weren't even shrimp I ordered. It's clear they just gather whatever shrimp they want, place them in a bag and say 'good enough' Plus they were bagged poorly. Nothing like the reviews I was watching from others. Not to mention they didn't even send the food that I ordered with the shrimp. I guess they just got free lunch money for themselves. These people are deceitful. I will never do business with them again.
