hello if you didn't kno now you do

Nismofan and I picked up shangos shrimp bizz yesterday. So if you are in need of good quality blood lines of shrimp please contact me or him and we will ne happy to make sure you get what your lookin for.

Nice pick up!

Thanks man

Congrats and the new purchase you two!

Can't wait to see pictures of the set up!

oh your so close to me too! I guess Jester is right I need to start a new tank for shrimp.

Thanks yall justin is the one who is really into the shrimp iam his helping hand. But either way its super cool..lol so let me no it will be about a month before his ready to off load sum of them.

Awesome! This is close for me as well!

You don't happen to have any RCS right now, do you? I've just got my smaller tank finished cycling and planted, and have began my local search for some of these guys to be the start of my new shrimp tank!

Well I can't say "Yay, you're close to me", but I'm happy to see a fishbox member take over as shrimp breeders. I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you and were willing to travel as well just so kno. As soon as the stock is ready we qill every one kno.

Good luck, sounds like something that could make you a good chunk of change if you run it right!! I wish I had the knowledge/means to do something like that right now, but it might be a future endeavor for me.

Until then, I will be watching to see what you have, and possibly purchasing some. I work in Bellevue now, so you're closer to me for about 40 hours a week

Sweet sounds great and thank you

I look forward to seeing your stock list. I just got some Cherry Reds from ballardfishguy. That means I don't want blue or yellow so they don't cross and revert to browns. However, I am curious what other shrimp will cohabitate peacefully with the Reds.

The Orange shrimp we got will go with them and they will be ready in a week or so. Neon orange Shrimp is the name of the shrimp by the way and there neocaridina species.

You don't want to mix RCS and orange neocaridina as they're the same species (neocaridina heteropoda) and will interbreed, producing offspring with unpredictable coloration.

Yes you are very right and that is what I was tryin to say....thank you for that pbmax

I know there are some shrimp in other genus I can put in the tank with Reds but I don't know which one they will cohabitate well with. For instance, will ghost shrimp (Paleomonetes sp) eat young cherry shrimp?

Ghost shrimp won't interbreed with any other shrimp in our hobby, but they may munch on anything they can grab and hang onto.  This includes shrimp, fry, smaller fish, etc. I wouldn't keep them with dwarf shrimp I cared bout.

Caridina can be kept with Neocaridina - crystal reds, crystal blacks, tigers, etc. The problem with these guys is that they prefer acidic water while Neocaridina prefer a PH above 7. They can be kept together, but it can be a balancing act.

I have a single Amano shrimp in my 55 community tank that is probably one of my oldest aquarium inhabitants. I've never seen it eat shrimplets, but you never know. I doubt it could eat them all though.

I've read that amanos can, on occasion, eat other shrimp, but generally don't. They're probably a safe bet.

Indeed - the key is to out-reproduce the predator.

I also have a lone amano shrimp that's left from the initial 6 I had at one point. I wonder if there is some sort of dynamic with them where it always comes down to the last man standing... Maybe they don't get along well in small groups? Or, maybe I am just bad at keeping shrimp; but then I wonder why I can keep this one alive, and also keep other types of shrimp pretty happy?
