What shrimp(s) do you keep?

Hi guys.
I keep a lot of cherryies, more than 200. I also breed CRS for fun. Currently have around 250 of them. Also have some Amano's.

Beauty captures! ;)
Cheers. I am still learning how to use this bloody Canon 600D. It takes me ages to get a lucky shot.
:)

You must have spent days then Aqua, you got seven beauties right there!

Those Taiwan bees are magnificent Victor, the white tail fanning in contrast to the black of the body looks fantastic!
I'm a complete philistine when it comes to shrimp but even I can tell they're special :thumbup:

I shudder to think of the price though... :D

Yup they will look much better when fully growns up. This is the Taiwan Bee - Panda.
They are very pricey so i only have a smaller group. :D But looks awesome on their colors.
How the hell people breed and select lines like this?

By breeding thousands. In my small space i can ge only few hundred at a time. Now I have some SSS to grow. Let see how many of them will turn good specimens.

I read a few months back how the guy made this strain. I think he was Swedish. But it involved all the various different strains of tiger shrimp, selective breeding and patience. Which by looking at the prices of these strains online wouldn't be cheap. I would love to try something like this at some point.

A job well done

There stunning, too thread this, very cool.

Stunning they are indeed. Only that from a distance will be difficult to notice their colours like with the CRS. I prefer CRS because their colours are clearly visible from far away.

I think I saw a Chris Lukhuap interview with some breeder who claimed that the taiwan bee strains came from keeping multiple species of caridina in the same tank resulting in lots of mutations. Beautiful shrimp. My favourite are the blue bolt.

Hi, I was wondering what shrimp(s) do people keep or want to keep in their aquarium.
.

Amano and blue pearl. Will probably go for crystals (again) for my next shrimp tank.
 
Hi all, 4 amanos, but I would like to get some cherries, the only thing is I think they are a bit small for my tank, I have an Angel which is growing a bit large,but then I could get rid.
 
10 CRS and 2 Japonica.

The CRS look so small against the Japonica Shrimp.

LP
 
2000 x RCS Var. Red. (Standard, Sakura and Red Fire)
40 x RCS Var. Orange
10 x RCS Var. Yellow
5 x Rili
30 x CRS Grade B - SS (+ lots of new babies)
15 X CBS Grade B (+ lots of new babies)

Those are Nick's pictures. :lol:

I have a few humble shrimp. I do not own a lens like the one above. This is the best I can do with a point and shoot.
