Breeding Information
Red Rili Shrimp are prolific breeders under the right conditions. Females carry eggs under their abdomen, and after a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. To ensure successful breeding, provide stable water parameters, dense plants, or moss for baby shrimp to hide and feed. Their offspring inherit the stunning red-and-translucent patterns of their parents.

Let customers speak for us
from 118 reviewsGreat color! Happy little shrimp! Drip acclimated and they all made it past their first week in the tank. So happy with them!
I also appreciate very much the customer service and individual attention to any issue. Very impressed. Waiting to buy again :-)
Shrimp arrived in great condition and were packed very well. They are all hard at working keeping the tank clean. They were a nice size and quality.
Excellent quality and we amazed at how they are shipped… and so well, after a few days I had 1 die… safe to say the other 4 are great after 2 weeks!
I’ve ordered some shrimps from here twice and they always come healthy and active! the shipping is fast as well and greatly packaged.
I got these little guys to do some of the clean up work in my tank. CSC delivered them promptly and they got right to work. And they fit tight in with the rest of the inhabitants so we're all happy.
I’m really enjoying these lil ones. 1 DOA , the others are hardy, healthy and very active. After acclimating slowly, they coloured up beautifully! As soon as I put them in my tank they began immediately foraging on the plants and made themselves at home. Packaging was undertaken with great care and concern for the shrimp’s comfort and safety during travel. Highly recommend CherryShrimpCanada!
I ordered these shrimp from Vancouver, and I live in Newfoundland! Thanks to our friends at Canada Post this package took over 2 weeks to deliver. Fortunately the shrimp were packed well and insulated with lots of water. All of my 20 shrimp survived the long journey and are now in their tank checking out their new hiding places. A couple of the ladies came in berried and there were even a couple little shrimplets in my tank this morning. Colouring on some of the shrimp was weak, but I figure that's the travel stress. Some of the darker coloured shrimp are gorgeous! Overall I am very pleased with my order and wouldn't hesitate to buy again.
I received 10+ shrimps are Alive after almost 5 or 8 days.
Well packaged, I would order again during summer.
I would highly reccomend buying from them they all were alive and healthy.the only issue was that it did not come to my door and canada post left it in my mail box so they were outside in the cold for about 6 hours. Would definitely order again
I ordered 5 of these little guys, they traveled all the way to Ontario. Arrived in excellent condition, heath seems great so far. Very active and fun to watch. Beautiful colours. I’d recommend buying your wee little shrimp friends from here. Good prices and service.
Thanks!
These shrimp are by far one of my favorites. They're colorful and quite active in my tank. Cherry Shrimp Canada is worth shopping at due to the quality of their products.
The shrimp are beautiful and striking in color. They arrived safe and sound.
Very beautiful shrimp and it was packed well but most of all it got here fast ! I was missing one on arrival but they said they will make it up on my next purchase!
These bad boys arrived real fast and I only had one DOA (the packaging was really good, I think the DOA was unrelated to it) - since then they've been thriving in my tank and had a ton of shrimplets who've now grown quite a bit. Absolutely love these dudes and their colours are phenomenal! Will definitely be picking up some more once the second generation grows a bit to make sure I don't recreate the lannister family tree in the tank haha
