Got Shrimp?

[rrocket2002]

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!

Re: Got Shrimp?

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'!

Re: Got Shrimp?

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.

Re: Got Shrimp?

I bought some ghost shrimp fomr FRII and the puffer only went after a couple.  Most died in my feeder tank but I put a few in with my platy babies and they are doing miraculously well....considering getting some "real" shrimp to go in there and do clean-up crew

Re: Got Shrimp?

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...

Re: Got Shrimp?

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.

Re: Got Shrimp?

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.....

Re: Got Shrimp?
