Last updated: August 2, 2026

Live Animals (Shrimp, Fish & Other Livestock)

Due to the nature of live animals, we do not accept returns on livestock. All livestock sales are final.

  • Provide clear photo or video evidence of the deceased animals in the unopened or just-opened bag
  • Contact us at therayaquariums@gmail.com

Upon verification, we will offer a replacement or store credit at our discretion. We do not issue cash refunds on livestock. The guarantee is void if:

  • The package was left unattended for more than 2 hours after the first delivery attempt
  • Incorrect shipping address was provided
  • Animals were not properly acclimated per our care instructions
