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.

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.

Arrived healthy and well packaged. One of my favorite new additions, the color really stands out.

Had an issue with an initial order but it was addressed promptly and efficiently. Re ordered and received all the shrimp alive and well. Thank you! Nice thicc shrimps. Highly recommend
