I appreciate the feedback and I’m glad they arrived safely.
That said, what you’re seeing right now isn’t a reliable indicator of their final coloration. Shrimp almost always wash out after shipping and can look pale, transparent, or off-tone for several days while they adjust. Color develops back with time, stability, diet, and proper lighting—especially with lines like these.
I don’t ship cull-grade shrimp under premium listings. If there were any true quality concerns, I’d want to see that after they’ve had time to settle in and regain full color, not right out of the bag.
Give them a bit of time in your setup—most customers see a noticeable difference once they’re fully acclimated.
If after that you still feel there’s an issue, feel free to reach out and we can take a closer look.
