Snowball Shrimp
Snowball shrimp is one of the most popular shrimp species in the aquatic community. Due to the easiness of keeping and breeding them, they are an excellent choice even for beginners in this hobby.
Originally popularized for their blue coloration, pearl shrimp have been selectively bred for white coloration in a variant known as white pearl shrimp or snowball shrimp.
I have many for sale due to breeding them in 12 separate aquariums to guarantee & insure you will receive the best of the best.
TEMPERATURE - 18-27 Degrees.
The listing images are purely taken by the owner, when purchasing you will receive exactly what you see in the image/listings for all shrimps available. This is to insure we sell the best locally and can be easily assessable.
SHIPPING,
Snowball Shrimps can live from 1-2 years depending on the environment they are in, after purchasing I will safely place all live stock into a new oxygenated bag with fresh live plants to also keep it oxygenated for journey back. If purchasing online I will follow the same steps above, but also put them into a small sturdy box with a tiny heating matt to lower chances of stress whilst being imported.
As long as everything else is in order and water quality is high, female shrimp should pretty much always be carrying eggs. These hatch after 30-45 days into tiny copies of the adults.
These little creatures are a translucent white, with some individuals featuring a slight blue tint. There is a theory that the shrimp are actually named for their eggs, which are also pure white and look like tiny snowballs.
FEEDING,
Lucky for some, these Shrimps are not hard maintenance with them usually liked being left alone (such as less water changes. Some shrimps do not like sudden water changes or temp spikes) A lot of algae will cause these shrimps to thrive. All my aquariums will have a 20% water change every 2 weeks to guarantee the customers receive the best of the best.
