Blue shrimp

Shrimp, lot number 819-1
Bred by this user

Do you miss keeping easy-to-breed species? Do you hate it when your breeding group eats their fry? Getting sick of looking at the same old livebearers and cichlids? Do you want to bid on a lot for nothing more than its novelty description? Or maybe you just want to try your hand at shrimp keeping, the most popular, up-and-coming, aspect of the hobby?

Look no further - are you about to place a bid on the highest quality quality shrimp money can buy! I've been working no this strain for years now, and culled aggressively to bring out the best blue coloration in the hobbyâ„¢. 100% guaranteed to be better, bluer, and have more blueberry flavor than Rob's!

These guys are insanely prolific, once you get them established, they breed so readily, you'll be wondering what to do with them all.

All pics are mine, taken from the exact colony you'll be getting yours from. What's the secret to success with shrimp? A few factors:

  • Dechlorinate your water, I do water changes for my shrimp with waste water from fish tanks
  • Do small, frequent water changes
  • Drip acclimate new shrimp for at least 6 hours
  • Keep shrimp with ancistrus - shrimp love eating the, ahem, waste, that ancistrus produce. Ancistrus won't eat shrimplets and both have the same dietary requirements.
  • Feed very small amounts of food, often - I rotate through foods, and feed some kind of meat flake, spirulina flake, and a bit of nori occasionally and I try to keep oak or other leaves in the tank which produce aufwuchs - the perfect food for shrimplets. Shrimp are technically omnivores, not algae eaters, so they like a little protein (about 1/3rd of their diet or less)
  • Keep a heavily planted tank and fertilize it weekly with micro nutrients. Don't worry about the macros, those will come from food
  • Start with good quality shrimp - preferably these

It really is that simple.
