from 142 reviewsShrimp 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!! :-)
This supplier has the absolute best customer service!
These golden shrimp are an awesome stand out peice thanks to their neon stripes down their back my clients notice them instanlty before all the other colours.
Amazing customer service, and beautiful shrimp
I made a purchase for some CRS. They arrived in the mail within days, cherry shrimp Canada was super helpful and communicative. There were very few casualties but CSC gave me a credit for some replacements.
10/10 would buy again.
Thank you so much for a great experience
My order arrived on time and except for the delivery driver being dumb and leaving the shrimp on my door step in the freezing cold everything was perfect. As a result of the delivery persons error only one shrimp didn't last the first 24hrs. Cherryshrimpcanada gave me a credit for the fatality even tho I didn't ask for it and was willing to help me out with some specifics for the next order I am going to place. I would definitely recommend Cherryshrimpcanada to anyone else looking for fresh water shrimp.
Healthy, active and beautiful! . A great experience all around, highly recommend!
They are really amazing and they did took of my order very well. I highly recommend ordering from them. Cause I will definitely order again
All arrived healthy looking and active. They disappeared into my aquarium plants and driftwood in less than a few minutes, and pop out once in a while. Wish they would stay out in the open more often but as long as they’re happy I guess 😂
All arrived healthy looking and active. They were in shipping for several days from drop off to delivery, so was worried for a while. However, they were well packaged so no casualties :)
Great color! Happy little shrimp! Drip acclimated and they all made it past their first week in the tank. So happy with them!
I also appreciate very much the customer service and individual attention to any issue. Very impressed. Waiting to buy again :-)
Shrimp arrived in great condition and were packed very well. They are all hard at working keeping the tank clean. They were a nice size and quality.
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.
