Had a pretty heavy algae buildup on the glass facing the kitchen windows. No matter how often I cleaned with one of those magnets I was losing the battle. Purchased 2 6 packs and in no time the glass is down to one 4” area of algae, this is in a 40 gallon cube! They must starve these snails before sending them. Very pleased with the shipping,styrofoam cooler with heat packs and double bagged. I have nothing but good things to say about this vendor. I did have an issue which I won’t mention here but with a email on a Friday night I had my answer Saturday morning. Who does that? These guys. Ask me if I’d buy from this vendor again I’d say “Not till these guys died from old age” they seem to be much too good at their job and now I’m stuck buying algae discus to keep them fed. My 40 gallon cube is heavy planted and everything looks like someone vacuumed even the plant leaves.
I bought a five pack on Amazon from another vendor and received 3 in the order. Contacted them and they were not willing to either send 2 more or refund my purchase price. There wasn’t even empty shells in the bag. Amazon of course made it right.
It’s hard to say with absolute certainty with only one purchase I’d recommend this vendor but I have little doubt this is how aquaticmotiv does business.
A little about me, I started with a 5 gallon panoramic tank with 20 red crystal shrimp in February. I’m stocking my 40 gallon tank from it. I’m over 800 shrimp now. Good water, great lighting and keeping them too close not to breed. Honestly 800. Week after week I’m able to pull 50 to 70 out and stock the larger tank.
