Breeding Information
Blue Rili Shrimp are prolific breeders in a stable tank environment. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and after a few weeks, juvenile shrimp emerge fully formed. To encourage breeding, maintain consistent water conditions and provide dense plants or moss for baby shrimp to hide and feed. The offspring inherit the vivid blue and translucent coloration of their parents.

Purchased 10 shrimps. They arrived in Quebec after a few days. Well packed, all shrimps were alive and swimming inside the bag. They were immidiately active after transfer to the tank. Grew up quickly. I recommend.
I ordered 10 all came alive... but not like the picture above.. but all are healthy thank you
Nice shrimp with clear middles. Only problem is I received all females and none were berried so no babies. Guess I'll just have to order more!
Decided to order my shrimp online rather than source local, as the current supply local is poor quality and does not have fair pricing. Very Glad I found cherryshrimpcanada as the quality of the rili's was awesome. Upon receiving them I raced to get the bag open and see if there were any die offs due to shipping stress. NOT A SINGLE DIE OFF!!! After moving them into their permanent home after a 24 hour acclimation they are doing great!
Will definitely be purchasing more for another tank I am setting up in the future!
Let customers speak for us
from 141 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.
