Description

100 Cherry Shrimps

Size: 1/2"

The picture is my adult female cherry shrimp, size about 3/4". I will try to catch three shrimps with eggs like her in this deal. Most of the shrimps you get won't be in full color because of the shipping. They will lost color during the shiping.

I will ship 100 shrimps (mixed male and female). I will try to catch 3 female shrimps with eggs in this deal, but I'm afraid that I can't gurrantee this. You may get more than 3pregrant female, maybe less.� I have a lot of pregrant females in my tanks, I don't sort and keep them for myself in purpose. I just have a problem to catch them when I have many orders come at the same time. Because pregrant females they like to hiding inside the plants when they were frightened/scared.

Shipping to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, arround $25 - 30.
about $12-15 for ON and QC. If you live other citys, send me your postcode for quote, thanks!

FAQ

Q. Are there 100 shrimps inside bag?

A. Yes, I were doubt this too before I count them. Depending on their size, they may not look like 100 shrimps inside the bag. I can guarantee there are 100 of them. Please count them before put them in the tank, and let me know if there is any short. I will make a part refund if there is a shortage. If you saw some shrimps smaller than 1/2", that is extra, because I didn't count them.

Q. Why the shrimps are not colorful?

A. They will lose some color during the shipping. If you want them to show more color, simply use dark gravel, never use white gravel because most of them will lose color if using white gravel. From my experience, color bite etc doesn't make them more colorful, dark background will instead. You may search relevant information through internet as well.

Here is one feedback from one buyer.

I received my shipment of shrimp last week. They were lively on arrival and I was impressed with the packaging. I was a bit disappointed with their coloration - however after settling in a few days and adding a black backdrop and darker decor to the tank their colors have become much more apparent. I haven't noticed any dead loss - not one! The larger females really are quite impressive. Thanks for these awesome little critters and a smooth transaction.

Q. Why I got some small size shrimps and the shrimps I got is smaller than I expect?

A. I do have a lot of big sized shrimps, but I really don't have time to catch them on one by one base. It will take me an hour to catch 100 of them and I got a back pain after that. Since I can catch 5~10 shrimps each net for 1/2"+ shrimp, thatis why I sell them at this size. Some times, customer got bigger size shrimps, some times not. I catch them randomly, but I always make sure their size is bigger than 1/2". I don't take them out if the shrimps are smaller than 1/2" in my net, I just don't count them. They are EXTRA! Because take them out will cost me more time too, LOL.

Second reason, shrimps in this size are much stronger than larger ones actually. When in extreme condition, e.g. shipping and short of oxygen, the smaller ones can make it rather than bigger ones. They have more chance to survive than large ones.

There are 350 cherry shrimps inside this container, they all come from one of my 10G tank.
