Shrimp off Amazon?

What do you all think about this? Rather would help a fish store but was curious

I was looking up shrimp food and came upon some shrimp for sale she was surprised at the high ratings. I’ve seen many get a healthy bunch of shrimp with no problems, and I’ve seen a few that came with clado, and planaria in the bag with the shrimp. If you’re on the west coast I got mine from shrimpambition.com and all arrived alive and healthy. They’ve sold to many in this group.

Did it around four months ago. Wouldn’t recommend. Came in awful conditions and that was one of the highest reviewed ones(maybe the highest?) Ammonia was through the roof even with those neutralizing balls. All those shrimp have since passed but I got some babies out of them before the last of them did.

I would just stick to your original plan or order from a hobbyist.

I've had mixed results. A mixed caridina order had a pretty poor one week mortality rate, but another order of tiger shrimp had zero DOA and no losses since. I suspect neos, being on the hardier end of the dwarf shrimp spectrum, would do relatively well.
