from 152 reviewsArrived healthy and well packaged. One of my favorite new additions, the color really stands out.

Had an issue with an initial order but it was addressed promptly and efficiently. Re ordered and received all the shrimp alive and well. Thank you! Nice thicc shrimps. Highly recommend

Extremely happy with my first order. Looking forward to ordering again

Love the shrimp, they add great contrast to our tank, the delivery was fast and all arrived alive. Highly recommend.

They are all doing amazing! My black rose is about to have some babies so that's exciting!
Great service, fast delivery! Will definitely shop again soon!

Ordered some shrimp and they all arrived alive and healthy! They were packaged very well and would certainly order again!

Wondering only one thing if the shrimp colors could've been packed separately but there wonderful and healthy

Berry's on them even going for jade and yellow next

beautiful livestock, excellent customer service

I have bought several times, the customer service is excellent!! Thank you! :-)

Shrimp arrived healthy and alive, super fast service and shipping.

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!! :-)

Collection: 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.
