I have spent a few days rebuilding the site structure of TheShrimpFarm.com and plan to launch the new design this weekend. It will be a very similar look but the operation will be much faster and smoother.

TheShrimpFarm.com will also have a more consistent feel and a more streamlined site. I will be making information much easier to find and include a search function in the near future.

A quick peak available only to my blog readers is available at: http://www.theshrimpfarm.com/shrimp

I am open to any/all feedback!

There has been a discussion going on over at the PlantedTank.net forums about a picture of a shrimp. The owner of the shrimp says this shrimp is a bit larger than the cherry shrimp in his aquarium and some seem to think it is not a cherry shrimp…

What do you think?

It has been a while since I posted an update here on The Shrimp Farm Blog so I figured it was time!

So what is new?

• I have spent the last 3 weeks in Haiti.
• Before Haiti I was on the road for ABC News for 2 weeks.
• Amano Shrimp have been breeding consistently
• Cherry and Yellow Shrimp breeding has slowed from lack of attention

I will try harder to keep the site updated now that I am home again!

Early in the lives of Dwarf Shrimp it can be difficult to tell the difference between a male and a female shrimp, and even some adult Caridina species can be difficult to differentiate. Recently in a PlantedTank.net forum discussion a picture of a Yellow Shrimp started some debate.

I would like to hear from my readers! What do you think this is, a male or a female?
