Why arrival policies matters
A live-arrival policy explains the seller's process and evidence requirements, which can vary between shops. In a shrimp-focused aquarium, the choice should also support steady routines, visible livestock, and access for basic care.
Before you act, check notification timing, photos required, and how the seller handles shipping delays. Compare the item with the rest of the setup and note any recent change that could affect what you are seeing.
A careful way to proceed
keep packaging and follow the exact instructions if there is a problem. Make one adjustment at a time and watch how the aquarium responds during normal observation.
Avoid assuming one seller's policy applies to every shrimp shipment. Labels, products, and tank conditions differ, so use a reliable guide as context and record what you directly observe. If uncertainty remains, ask an experienced shrimp keeper before making a consequential change.
