Ordered my first batch from Cherry Shrimp Canada and it will NOT be my last! One even had a belly full of eggs. XOXO
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.
Let customers speak for us
from 160 reviewsI 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
