Breeding Information

Black Rose Shrimp are prolific breeders in stable and healthy conditions. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and in a few weeks, juveniles emerge fully formed. To ensure the safety of young shrimp, provide plenty of dense plants or moss for hiding. Offspring inherit the stunning black coloration of their parents, making them ideal for growing your shrimp colony.

Great addition

The shrimp that I bought all arrived alive. They are doing well and I am going to order 30 more. I would recommend Cherry Shrimp Canada as the place to buy.

Amazing shrimp.

Nice and dark black with only a hint of a red undertone on a couple. Already have a bunch of babies since a few came in berried.

Such beauty

My shrimp came well packaged and safe ( I ordered during optimal shipping temperature ). It was my first time ordering so I ordered 3. The shrimp were all alive, very active, and no molting in the bag. They were brightly colored, deep black, with a glossy shine, a beautiful addition to my tank. Would love to order more in the future.

Great shrimp with great service!!!

I recently bought some of these beautiful black rose shrimp and even had a bit of a hiccup with the shipping but the wonderful person who runs this site did everything in their power to help me get things fixed up and I got all 10 of my shrimp alive after a week of shipping (Canada Post delivered them to my neighbor) as well as my ramshorn snails. Super happy with this seller and will most definitely be ordering again in the future 🥰🥰🥰
My tank lighting is not that great or I'd have attached photos but they are truly black shrimp, any that I have seen in stores always have a brown tinge to them. I highly recommend this seller 💯%
