Best of the Week – Week ending March 22, 2009

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

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!

Best of the Week (November 24-30)

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

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.

Best of the Week – (Nov. 17-23)

Monday, November 24th, 2008

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!

  • Work on the Shrimp Wiki has begun. This concept will be integrated into TheShrimpFarm.com over the week. The biggest change from our Shrimp Profiles will be the ability for users to comment on the shrimp profiles!
