anyone interested in Crystal Red Shrimp?

I've been breeding shrimp for a few years now. Trying to get better at breeding high quality shrimp. Curious if other folks in the area are working intensively with these.

best,

I think we have a few shrimp freaks on the site! I know caton has some shrimp and jtang does as well. Corey might have some too..

Cool! Is it possible to share pics? I am really trying to intensify the white on my shrimp...but it has been a struggle. I think the water in Seattle is a bit too soft.

That is the one- cool critter. Look like candy canes. Jimmy has the "King Kong" shrimp- the $500 shrimp.

You can get King Kongs on Aqua Bid for as cheap as $30 a piece (holiday special by one seller) - otherwise, they are about $100 per piece. I saw one guy has a KK package where he selling 4 extra of the line but not necessarily blacks. I don't know enough to tell you what that means, but if you are into shrimp, you will understand.
