I received 25 Bloody Mary Neos and a few Amano shrimp this week. Absolutely lovely! Only 1 didn't make it through the stress of transition (expected!). Very quick service and lovely little shrimps added to my aquariums. I'll be ordering more color variations in the short future

My shrimp arrived happy and healthy. Their colors are vibrant. I drip acclimated them for a couple of hours and then they settled right in to enjoy their new shrimp home.

The Ray Aquarium has attentive and helpful staff; when I was concerned waiting for my order information to update they were able to explain and assure me of my shrimps arrival and safety. Upon arrival, I had a couple extra of each color and they all look happy and healthy! Day two and everyone is still going strong! Thank you so much!

Great customer service

Easy to work with and very helpful, he was able to arrange a “breeder pack” for me even though that wasn’t an option on the site.

Thank you for your kind words! We always strive to give our customers whatever it is they are searching for as long as it’s within our realm of reach! Hope to get to work with you again!

The Ray Aquariums delivered in every aspect. I spoke directly with the owner about getting some stock that was out and they were super helpful and communicative! The stock itself is vibrant, happy and healthy and shipping was fast and affordable.

We are so thrilled to hear you were happy with your purchase! Please always feel free to reach out about anything. Look forward to working together agin in the future!

My first order from Ray has been great! Competitively priced lemon yellow Amano shrimp are active and healthy. They are very young, but that means that they all survived! I can’t wait to watch them grow! I recommend drip acclimating with the shipping water in a holding tank as I have found their are babies in there that are practically microscopic, and with established bio-film they will appear after a few weeks growth.

Happy to hear you were happy with your purchase!!
Please let us know if you ever find cheaper pricing and we will be more than happy to do what we can to work with you on the best price possible!
We learned the hard way to keep Amano species in their own tanks and let’s just say they are harboring some stoways from Neo colonies. Hope you enjoy watching the mystery babies grow up!

Skrimps are bright and very healthy! Had a couple of losses which is to be expected during acclimation but one of the berried shrimps I received already produced tons of shrimplets.

Happy to hear you had a good experience with us! Please feel free to reach out in the future when you purchase if you have any losses within the first couple of hours. As long as your tank is stable and clearly not the problem we will always replace the losses or make it up in some way shape or form!
But I’m glad you had a berried momma to provide for you!

I ordered 20 blue dream shrimp and they are gorgeous! He shipped them immediately and with a few extra babies as well. They are now in their tank and looking amazing. I would absolutely recommend this store.

So glad to hear you were happy with your blue shrimp friends! Please let us know if you’re ever on the hunt for anything else!

Jessie was fantastic to work with! I purchased the dark Bloody Mary shrimp from him and they were amazing quality! There was also very good communication! I will absolutely be a repeat customer and will always recommend this shop to anyone looking for shrimp!

So happy to hear you enjoyed your shrimp friends!! You were such a stellar customer to work with!

I purchased some Fire Red Cherry Shrimp from the ray since he is taking over Teachers Pets for Neocaridina shrimp. I recieved 10 red fire cherry shrimp, these seem alot darker and a bit patchier thn what I’ve received from TP. Glad they all arrived healthy but could definitely see clear patches on the legs and a bit on the body. I’ll still be putting another order in soon for some other colors. Thank you!

Glad to hear you weren’t super disappointed but we do apologize for the lower quality shrimp that were sent. We struggled with getting the correct line for a second and will not be letting that happen again. We had high hopes those fire reds you received were going to brighten up and they simply did not and that is completely our fault and our bad on our end.
Please make sure to reach out with your next purchase so we can ensure that one is a 5 star worthy expense for you and you’ll get a couple extra shrimp friends thrown in for your troubles as well!

First, the experience shopping was great! All questions answered, and communication was 100% on point! I really appreciated the flexibility and ownership shown. We will buy again with confidence. AND- the shrimp are adorable! I think there were even a couple of little guys who stowed-away. They’re happily bouncing around their new home checking everything out.
Thank you!

We are thrilled to hear you had such a pleasant experience with us! This is what we strive for with our small in home business. We so look forward to working with you again in the future!
