Perfect for shrimp, fish fry, and other aquarium species, these nutrient-packed eggs are a must-have for aquarium enthusiasts and breeders alike.
Why Choose Our Brine Shrimp (a.k.a Sea Monkeys)?
-
Superior Hatch Rate: Our brine shrimp eggs are carefully sourced to ensure a consistently high hatch rate, providing you with reliable results every time. With a 24-36 hour incubation period, each gram of cysts is guaranteed to produce at least 255,000 nauplii (baby brine shrimp) for average hatch rate of over 90%.
-
Rich in Nutrients: Packed with essential proteins, fatty acids, and vitamins, these eggs support the growth, coloration, and vitality of your aquatic pets.
-
Ideal for All Aquatic Species: Suitable for shrimp, tropical fish, marine species, and fry, making it a versatile food option for any aquarium.
Benefits of Feeding Live Brine Shrimp:
- Promotes natural hunting instincts and activity.
- Enhances coloration and overall health in aquatic pets.
- Mimics a natural diet for better growth and development.
Simple Hatching Instructions:
- Preparation: Fill a clean hatching container with 1 liter of warm, dechlorinated water (28–30°C recommended). Add 1 tablespoon of non-iodized salt per liter of water.
- Aeration: Use a gentle air pump to keep water circulating continuously during incubation.
- Add Cysts: Add 1 gram of brine shrimp cysts to the prepared hatching solution.
- Lighting: Provide a consistent light source during the 24-36 hour hatching period to ensure optimal results.
- Harvesting: After hatching, turn off aeration and allow unhatched cysts to settle. Use a fine mesh or siphon to collect the hatched nauplii.
- Rinsing: Rinse nauplii with fresh water before feeding them to your aquarium pets.
- Storage: Store unused cysts in a cool, dry place or in the freezer for extended freshness.
Tips: Maintain clean equipment to avoid contamination and achieve the best hatch rates. Adjust salinity and temperature for specific requirements if needed.

Let customers speak for us
from 170 reviewsExcellent colour on these shrimp. Very, very black. They look really good against vibrant greens. I imagine they would look good against light sand as well.
Came incredibly well packaged and arrived in perfect condition despite problems with courier.

Very impressed by packaging quality. I have bought from different online sellers before and they did not ship anywhere near as much water nor as thoroughly packaged.
Through no fault of Cherry Shrimp Canada, Purolator missed a connection and what should have been 1 day shipping turned into 5. All Shrimp arrived healthy and alive despite this and I credit the extra water used in shipping. I had expected to lose at least one shrimp due to the delay.

Beautiful colour. Good size. Active and fun to look for and watch. The order came quickly. Will order again.

All shrimp arrived healthy and active with a good variety of colours. Nicely packed as well and the freebies are an added plus. Great value and quality for the price. Thank you

Such pretty little guys I love them I’ve never seen shrimp like these before

My shrimps all arrived happy and healthy such beautiful colors they will be a great new addition to my tan!

Fun little shrimp, good at playing hide and seek, they either love their new tank or have been busy during the shipping, some of them already have eggs, great way to start a colony! Safe shipping with minimal loss

I recently ordered shrimp from cherryshrimpcanada.com, and I’m thrilled to say they all arrived alive and healthy! Many of them even have little yellow eggies, which is such a promising sign. They’re lively and seem to be adjusting well to their new tank.
One small suggestion for improvement, while the buying process was quick and smooth, the shipping could be a bit better. My package arrived quite cold, as it didn’t have any “Live Animal” labels or heating packs, which would have been nice given the chilly nights. I think adding a “Live” sticker or an option to include a heat pack would make a big difference.
That said, I really appreciate the free log and leaves that came with my order, such a nice touch, and a great value for the price! Overall, 10/10 experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend to fellow shrimp enthusiasts!

I love these guys! Arrived in Manitoba healthy and happy. Just getting them used to their new tank. You folks never let me down. I'm always impressed at how well they are packed.

No issues. All as expected. Received 20 snowballs of both sexes and some variance in age/size. A couple of the females were berried haven't dropped their eggs yet!

Beautiful, healthy shrimp. I received them very quickly

Ordered my first batch from Cherry Shrimp Canada and it will NOT be my last! One even had a belly full of eggs. XOXO

Was very pleased, I received 22 shrimp of 6 different colors plus all the extras that are included. It arrived on time with all the shrimp alive and energetic. I will be ordering again.
Thank You

They arrived on time, a good size and very active.
