Breeding Information
Breeding Amano Shrimp in captivity is challenging due to their complex life cycle, which requires brackish water for larvae to develop. While they may carry eggs in freshwater, successful breeding typically does not occur without transitioning larvae to a brackish environment.

Thank you so much for a great experience
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 😂
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.
I got these little guys to do some of the clean up work in my tank. CSC delivered them promptly and they got right to work. And they fit tight in with the rest of the inhabitants so we're all happy.
I received 10+ shrimps are Alive after almost 5 or 8 days.
Well packaged, I would order again during summer.
Let customers speak for us
from 130 reviewsThank 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.
This company went above and beyond during the Canada Post strike, and took care of me at their loss. I can’t recommend them more.
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 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 :)
I am local so picked the shrimp up myself from North Van they were in great condition and a beautiful variety I even received some extra shrimps along with my order! Would definitely recommend if looking to add colour to your tank.
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 :-)

Excellent quality and we amazed at how they are shipped… and so well, after a few days I had 1 die… safe to say the other 4 are great after 2 weeks!
I’ve ordered some shrimps from here twice and they always come healthy and active! the shipping is fast as well and greatly packaged.

I’m really enjoying these lil ones. 1 DOA , the others are hardy, healthy and very active. After acclimating slowly, they coloured up beautifully! As soon as I put them in my tank they began immediately foraging on the plants and made themselves at home. Packaging was undertaken with great care and concern for the shrimp’s comfort and safety during travel. Highly recommend CherryShrimpCanada!
