Breeding Information
Sunkist Orange Shrimp are prolific breeders in stable environments. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and after a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. Providing plenty of dense plants or moss ensures the young have places to hide and feed. The offspring inherit the radiant orange hue of their parents, helping your colony flourish.

Amazing colouration, very healthy shrimp
Great color! Happy little shrimp! Drip acclimated and they all made it past their first week in the tank. So happy with them!
I’ve ordered some shrimps from here twice and they always come healthy and active! the shipping is fast as well and greatly packaged.
The shrimp arrived quickly and well packaged. Exactly as described and all in good health.
Would buy again.
Great vendor, excellent quality and incredible shipping! They all arrived safely and are thriving…I’m hoping that I will experience shrimp babies as they mature…I’ve never experienced that as yet…look forward to more purchases in the future!
Let customers speak for us
from 140 reviewsReceived 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!
Healthy, vibrant, and very energetic. Incredible Customer service I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
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.
This company went above and beyond during the Canada Post strike, and took care of me at their loss. I can’t recommend them more.
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 :)
I am local so picked the shrimp up myself from North Van they were in great condition and a beautiful variety I even received some extra shrimps along with my order! Would definitely recommend if looking to add colour to your tank.
Great color! Happy little shrimp! Drip acclimated and they all made it past their first week in the tank. So happy with them!
