Let customers speak for us
from 197 reviewsThe second the temperature was warm enough to ship my 20 colony starter they didn't hesitate. Can't beat the pricing and was very eager to get them. They arrived today in edmonton alberta all very alive and very healthy 😀. To top it all off they sent me extra perks that they didn't have to and made my day. They sent 4 big al.ond leaves for the shrimp and a neat piece of hollow wood for them to hide in and for me they sent a cookie.
they initially made a mistake and forgot about our order. they fixed their mistake and did what was right for the customer. highly recommend.
Thanks for the quick shipping for my yellow shrimp. All of them are doing well. They are so cool. :)
These shrimp are the star of the show for me honestly I ordered a few different kinds and the bright big size of these guys sold to me were just amazing. They capture the eye right away, they are active and under my dark light their stripe glows highlighter white!!!! They are literally amazing. If I had to choose only to have a mono tank I honestly would pick this kind.
Absolutely love my 6 Blue Dream Shrimp. They arrived alive. I spent the extra money to have them overnight shipped but they didn't make it to me overnight. They sat in a purolator warehouse for 4 days. Thankfully all was well when they did arrive. I'll be purchasing more Shrimp but I won't waste the extra cash on the overnight. Shame on purolator for not delivering on the weekends. It's been 2 weeks and everybody is doing well and happy. No babies yet but I'm sure it will happen. THANK YOU CHERRY SHRIMP CANADA!
All shrimp arrived happy and healthy! Delivery was delayed by Purolator, so shipping took a full week (BC to Ontario), but as of a day later all shrimp are alive.
10/10 came and they are alive and well. Packing was good with double bagging and thermal shield. Still, it’s not too cold yet up here. Took about 7days which is a bit long.
After reading some online forums with negative comments about cherry shrimp I was definitely very sceptical about what condition my shrimp would arrive in. I decided to order 4 snowball shrimp and took only 3 days to arrive and I was definitely impressed with the effort that went into packing the shrimp. The shrimps were double bagged in about a gallon of water that had lots of air and was quite roomy for the shrimps. Over top of the plastic bags was a thick layer of bubble wrap that seems to provide a good amount of insulation and protection and the rest of the box had shredded cardboard and recycled plastic for extra protection. The shrimp were calm inside the box and very energetic as soon as they came out of the box, no dead or weak shrimp anywhere. Needless to say I am very happy with my order and the price for shipping was definitely the best I have found.
3 of them didn't make it (shipping took 7 days), but it wasn't the sellers fault. The rest of them are all very healthy amd swimming around! It's less expensive buying from here including shipping and taxes than going at my local pet shop so I am very happy with the prices. A very wide range of colors as well! I hope they will do well in their new home!! 5 stars will buy again if need be.
Excellent colour on these shrimp. Very, very black. They look really good against vibrant greens. I imagine they would look good against light sand as well.
Came incredibly well packaged and arrived in perfect condition despite problems with courier.
Very impressed by packaging quality. I have bought from different online sellers before and they did not ship anywhere near as much water nor as thoroughly packaged.
Through no fault of Cherry Shrimp Canada, Purolator missed a connection and what should have been 1 day shipping turned into 5. All Shrimp arrived healthy and alive despite this and I credit the extra water used in shipping. I had expected to lose at least one shrimp due to the delay.
Beautiful colour. Good size. Active and fun to look for and watch. The order came quickly. Will order again.
All shrimp arrived healthy and active with a good variety of colours. Nicely packed as well and the freebies are an added plus. Great value and quality for the price. Thank you
Such pretty little guys I love them I’ve never seen shrimp like these before
My shrimps all arrived happy and healthy such beautiful colors they will be a great new addition to my tan!

We sell award winning high grade cherry shrimps. Cherry Shrimps are the scientific species called Neocaridina Davidi. Naturally cherry shrimps originated from Taiwan in the wild and have over the decades been breed all over the world as freshwater aquarium cherry shrimps of all kinds of colours (Blue, Reds, etc). We offer healthy young adults around 1.5 to 2.5cm in size and juveniles on request.
Behavior and Temperament: Omnivore, Scavenger, Non aggressive. They are active throughout the day and can be seen grazing on biofilm, aquarium décor or the sides of the tank, hunting detritus among the gravel, and sometimes even mating.
Molting: Periodically, a shrimp will shed its exoskeleton, leaving an empty white ghost of itself caught in the plants or drifting around the tank. This is normal and the skeleton should be left in the tank, as the shrimp will eat it to recover the valuable minerals it contains.
Breeding: They will be ready to begin breeding when they are 4 to 6 months old. They have 20–30 eggs, which take 2–3 weeks to hatch. To maximize the survival rate you need a stable and cycled tank that does not have any other fish. If you have other fish, please provide as much natural foliage (Java moss, Subwassertang, etc) as a place to hide.
Food Requirements: We recommend the use of specialized shrimp food from BacterAE and ShrimpKing. Blanched (boiled until soft) vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, peas, cucumber, kale and spinach can be supplemented but make sure you take out anything the shrimp can't eat after a couple of hours.
