  • Got Shrimp?

    OK, so here is the deal.  I was looking into all or at least some of the shrimp raised in aquariums.  There are alot of nice shrimp out there and nice equals pricey too.  Ek has or had some nice variety and has posted some nice pics previously.  

    I thought I would start a thread for Shrimp like there is one for Trophs.  If everyone would, please chime in and tell us what kind of shrimp you keep and if you have any offspring for trade or sale.  I have a small group Red Cherry Shrimp that I want to expand on soon as well as expanding to other varieties.  I would have liked to have bought Ek's breeding factory, but that wasn't in the cards right now...LOL.

    So please don't be shy, Speak Up!

    I currently don't keep any shrimp, but I do own an Australian red-clawed blue crawfish ("lobster") and keep a small electric blue crawfish in a desktop tank at my work.

    I am bringing 2 Macrobrachium rosenbergi prawns to the auction, in case anyone wants a 'big mean shrimp'!
    PLECOS SUCK!

      Maybe this should have been in the invert,bottomdweller section?

      I plan to still work with shrimp but they will be the high dollar stuff.

              I got a couple of glass/ghost shrimp (if they haven't been eaten yet) and a bamboo shrimp that's about 3 inches long. Think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get some nice crystal reds...

                    Hmmm...I thought I post on this thread already today...

                    Well, I got me a 10g tank with about 70 RCS!  It is so cool to see them all.  

                    Thankyou again Screename.  He has some nice RCS.

                      Well... i have a few shrimp... some lines i'm still working on.

                      CRS different grades from C to S+
                      Black Bees A to S+
                      Lots (LOTS) of Red Cherries
                      Amanos
                      Tigers
                      Golden Eye Tigers
                      Golden Eye Blue Tigers
                      Indian Zebra  (Babaulti var. Stripes)
                      Green Shrimp (Babaulti var.)
                      Yellow (Probably some sort of Neocaridina Hetropoda coz they seem to breed with Red Cherries)

                      And although not a shrimp, i'm working on Orange Mexican Dwarf Crays (Cambarellus patzcuarensis)

                      Most of my stock except the CRS and Amanos came from both Andy and Frank in Germany.
                      CRS from Hong Kong and Amanos from Fish Ranch  

                      I only have Red Cherries to sell / trade at the moment, but hopefully that will change in a couple of months... hehe.....
