Breeding Information
Snowball White Shrimp are prolific breeders in the right conditions. Females carry clusters of eggs under their abdomen, which resemble tiny white pearls, giving rise to their name. After a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. Provide stable water parameters, dense plants, or moss for the young to hide and feed, and watch your colony flourish.

beautiful livestock, excellent customer service

I have bought several times, the customer service is excellent!! Thank you! :-)

Shrimp 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!! :-)
