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.

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.
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.
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.
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 💯%
Very healthy and seem to be the toughest of my batch.
Let customers speak for us
from 122 reviewsI was worried because of the postal strike, but they all arrived safely. Bright and beautiful!
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.
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 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’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!
I ordered these shrimp from Vancouver, and I live in Newfoundland! Thanks to our friends at Canada Post this package took over 2 weeks to deliver. Fortunately the shrimp were packed well and insulated with lots of water. All of my 20 shrimp survived the long journey and are now in their tank checking out their new hiding places. A couple of the ladies came in berried and there were even a couple little shrimplets in my tank this morning. Colouring on some of the shrimp was weak, but I figure that's the travel stress. Some of the darker coloured shrimp are gorgeous! Overall I am very pleased with my order and wouldn't hesitate to buy again.
I received 10+ shrimps are Alive after almost 5 or 8 days.
Well packaged, I would order again during summer.
I would highly reccomend buying from them they all were alive and healthy.the only issue was that it did not come to my door and canada post left it in my mail box so they were outside in the cold for about 6 hours. Would definitely order again
I ordered 5 of these little guys, they traveled all the way to Ontario. Arrived in excellent condition, heath seems great so far. Very active and fun to watch. Beautiful colours. I’d recommend buying your wee little shrimp friends from here. Good prices and service.
Thanks!
These shrimp are by far one of my favorites. They're colorful and quite active in my tank. Cherry Shrimp Canada is worth shopping at due to the quality of their products.
The shrimp are beautiful and striking in color. They arrived safe and sound.
Very beautiful shrimp and it was packed well but most of all it got here fast ! I was missing one on arrival but they said they will make it up on my next purchase!
