Expeditions of live animals (shrimp, snails, crustaceans and other invertebrates) are carried out only Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to guarantee optimal transport conditions and minimize the times of stock.

For each order containing live animals it is mandatory to add the shipping kit, designed to ensure maximum protection during transport. The kit includes:

• Polystyrene container with high thermal insulation

• Double protective bag with oxygenation

• Thermal warmer (included in the coldest months)

Important: Acquarioshop.it is not responsible for any delays in delivery caused by the courier, adverse weather conditions or other external events not attributable to The Ark of Zin Fabio.

Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the compatibility between the water of our breeding and that of your aquarium, since we do not know the specific chemical-physical parameters of each domestic tank. For this reason, we recommend a gradual acclimatization of at least an hour, introducing small
