EXCELLENT new shrimp babies ;-)

Received my latest order, again VERY IMPRESSED.

I did feel respected by there being a extra added because it's sometimes hard for every little shrimp to make a big trip and I did, in fact, have one arrive 'expired'. The others were in excellent health :-)

I am further EXTREMELY impressed with CherryShrimpCanada's customer service; I could not say enough about how good that part has been, even when I had an issue with my first order - absolutely stellar and caring. THAT SAYS A LOT, when you have an issue and a seller tries this hard to show caring and help.

I have now ordered multiple times and do not hesitate, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you!! :-)

Received my latest order, VERY IMPRESSED again [have ordered before].

I felt respected by there being a couple extra added because it's sometimes hard for every little shrimp to make a big trip and I did, in fact, have two arrive 'expired'. I am further EXTREMELY impressed with CherryShrimpCanada's customer service; I could not say enough about how good that part has been, even when I had an issue with my first order - absolutely stellar and caring. I do not hesitate to buy from them, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you!! :-)

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. 

Recommended Tank Parameters for Cherry Shrimp
