Gorgeous deep black colour

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.

Arrived well packaged and healthy

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.

Cute little ghosts haunting your tank

Fun little shrimp, good at playing hide and seek, they either love their new tank or have been busy during the shipping, some of them already have eggs, great way to start a colony! Safe shipping with minimal loss

5 Stars – Great Shrimp, Minor Shipping Note

I recently ordered shrimp from cherryshrimpcanada.com, and I’m thrilled to say they all arrived alive and healthy! Many of them even have little yellow eggies, which is such a promising sign. They’re lively and seem to be adjusting well to their new tank.

One small suggestion for improvement, while the buying process was quick and smooth, the shipping could be a bit better. My package arrived quite cold, as it didn’t have any “Live Animal” labels or heating packs, which would have been nice given the chilly nights. I think adding a “Live” sticker or an option to include a heat pack would make a big difference.

That said, I really appreciate the free log and leaves that came with my order, such a nice touch, and a great value for the price! Overall, 10/10 experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend to fellow shrimp enthusiasts!

No issues. All as expected. Received 20 snowballs of both sexes and some variance in age/size. A couple of the females were berried haven't dropped their eggs yet!

Freshwater Aquarium Snails

Creating a thriving aquarium isn’t just about beauty; it’s about building a balanced ecosystem where each organism plays a role in harmony with the others. Freshwater snails are natural partners in this symbiotic environment, working with shrimp, fish, and live plants to create a sustainable, healthy aquarium.

In a well-maintained tank, snails contribute to a balanced ecosystem through symbiosis—the mutually beneficial relationships they share with other tank inhabitants. As they graze on algae, decaying plant matter, and uneaten food, snails help keep your tank clean, preventing harmful waste buildup and maintaining water quality. This makes them ideal companions for shrimp, who thrive in clean water and help by consuming detritus that settles at the bottom. Together, shrimp and snails create a natural cleanup crew, each working to recycle nutrients that would otherwise cloud the water.

Fish also benefit from this ecosystem. With snails managing waste and algae levels, fish enjoy a clearer, less-stressed environment. Some snails, like Assassin Snails, even help manage snail populations in a gentle, natural way, ensuring that each snail species maintains its balance without overwhelming the tank.

Plants play a crucial role in this symbiotic relationship as well. They absorb nitrates and provide oxygen, both of which are critical for snails and other tank life. In return, snails like Zebra Nerite and Ramhorn Snails consume algae that can otherwise overgrow plants, keeping them healthy and allowing for better light penetration. This plant-snail dynamic enhances oxygen levels, reduces excess nutrients, and promotes a stable, well-balanced ecosystem.

The Benefits of Snails in a Tank Ecosystem:

  • Algae Control: Naturally reduce algae growth, benefiting plants and water clarity.
  • Nutrient Recycling: Convert waste into manageable forms, helping prevent buildup.
  • Symbiotic Cleaning: Work with shrimp and fish for a cleaner, healthier habitat.
  • Plant Health: Support plant vitality by controlling algae and reducing debris.

Incorporating snails into your aquarium fosters a self-sustaining ecosystem where every species has a purpose and the environment stays balanced. By adding freshwater snails from Cherry Shrimp Canada, you’re not only enhancing your tank’s visual appeal but also supporting a resilient, symbiotic community.
