Which Shrimp?
So, as some of you know, I've started some fish and shrimp breeding projects to fund for the very expensive costs of aquarium hobbying =P
I'm having a harder time with success for my fish breeding, so I decided to decrease my fish breeding and increase my shrimp breeding. I currently have the following shrimps Yellow Shrimp Blue Pearl Shrimp Red Crystal Shrimp Orange Eye Blue Tiger Shrimp I am deciding on roughly two more shrimp species but am unsure which ones are the prettiest or most marketable. So, I turn to you guys to get a better perspective. Please vote in order of preference of the following shrimp, or suggest new ones (but must be able to breed in freshwater and do not have extreme ph requirements). 1) Dark Green Shrimp Dark Green Shrimp .:. Caridina sp. "Dark Green" .:. Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Species Information Page 2) Red Cherry Shrimp AquaBid.com - Item # fwinverts1323816597 - 20+ RCS FREE SHIPPING!! Clean out sale!!!!! - Ends: Tue Dec 13 2011 - 04:49:57 PM CDT 3) Blue Bee Shrimp Blue Bee Shrimp .:. Caridina cantonensis sp. "Blue Bee" .:. Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Species Information Page 4) Snowball Shrimp Snowball Shrimp .:. Neocaridina cf. zhangjiajiensis sp. white .:. Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Species Information Page 5) Black Crystal Shrimp AquaBid.com - Item # fwinverts1323360006 - 25 crystal black shrimp (CBS) A/S+ - Ends: Thu Dec 8 2011 - 10:00:06 AM CDT 6) Tiger Shrimp Tiger Shrimp .:.

Re: Which Shrimp?
What are you planning on charging for your shrimp? I have been looking for some and the local prices are ridiculous.

Re: Which Shrimp?
Tiger
Blue Bee/Snow Ball (can't choose, lol) Dark Green Black Crystal Red Cherry I put the Black crystal and red cherry last, cause I've had 'em and I'd like something different now, lol. Remember, some shrimp can't be together as they will fight. (I read that somewhere.....)

Re: Which Shrimp?
Too many shrimps will not look good, for me, i will crystal red followed by black crystal.
I recalled previously i saw a shrimp tank filled with yellow shrimps. It looks just like a wave of yellow. Beautiful!

Re: Which Shrimp?
If you're just breeding them to sell, dark green shrimp breed and mature very slowly. Probably half the rate of OEBTs.
