🥶 ABSOLUTELY FREEZING OUTSIDE!
Looks like we made the right call holding off dispatching all orders yesterday! Sending live shrimp through these freezing conditions would have put their health at serious risk. We'd rather keep them cosy in our tanks than gamble with their safety. 🦐
We also woke up to a heart-warming message from a customer who previously bought Caridina from some heavily hyped social media sellers, only to discover they'd received completely different shrimp sold under the same name.
A big following, fancy names and plenty of hype don't guarantee quality or authenticity!
At Shrimp Corner, we're shrimp breeders first and sellers second. We do this out of passion, not simply to chase profits.
We also know how certain varieties, including Hornet and Wasp, can be sourced in bulk from overseas suppliers, particularly Vietnam, for as little as $2–3 per shrimp (all sell them on £50-£100 a pc). ALL of them batches consist predominantly of males or undersized (the runt of the litter), lower-grade specimens.
There's a big difference between importing shrimp, selectively breeding for quality and simply reselling bulk purchases under premium names.
One thing we're confident about: When it comes to Caridina quality, we don't intend to be beaten! Years of experience and countless generations of selective breeding don't happen overnight.
Perhaps that's why certain social-media-hyped sellers and their little circle try so hard to bury us. Hahaha! 😂
Quality over hype. Passion over profit. Shrimp welfare always comes first.
We let our shrimp do the talking! ❤️🦐❄️
Stay warm everyone!
