This is the latest installment of TheShrimpFarm.com’s Best Of The Week, a blog series where I try to point out a few of the better posts/forum threads about dwarf shrimp for the week.  It was a slow week for Dwarf Shrimp, so not much to report!  Enjoy!

• Redder Red Cherry Shrimp - A quick discussion on what can make a Red Cherry Shrimp even more red.
• Dwarf Shrimp – What’s in a Name – A Blog post looking at the common issues with Dwarf Shrimp nomenclature.
•  Cherry Shrimp Pictures – A member of ThePlantedTank.net forums posts some very nice pictures of his cherry shrimp.

Self Cloning Crayfish (update 2) -
TheShrimpFarm.com gets some pictures of the self cloning crayfish babies. They are tiny and there are many of them!

Correct Shrimp Terminology – A question is raised by a Planted Tank forum member: What do you call a group of shirimp?

This week there are only two entries for best of the week. I have been out of town for most of the week so I missed out on much of the good stuff! Anyway, here it is, best of the week for the last week of November!

• New Micro Crab
  A new crab is making its way into the hobby, the Micro Crab. At only 1cm across this crab should be compatible with all dwarf shrimp! Check out the PlantedTank.net discussion about it here!
• Self-Cloning Crayfish
  TheShrimpFarm.com is now raising Self-Cloning Crayfish, also known as Marbled Crayfish. There is already one berried! Read the blog post about it here.

This is the first post of what is going to be an ongoing series of blog posts. This “Best of the Week” series will highlight the best information that has become available about dwarf shrimp over the past week.

This first week was a slow week, so the best of is a bit thin! If you would like any information from your website or forum included in future best of the week post, please contact us at TheShrimpFarm.com!
