TheShrimpFarm.com’s hatchery has pretty much been put on hold for quite some time due to expansion, real life getting in the way, and a fairly recent move. Now that everything seems to be back to full swing I have noticed my Blue Pearl Shrimp population has started to explode.

Just a very quick update!
About 2 days ago I started to set up the aquariums for this experiment. I will be waiting for these aquariums to fully cycle and then put some Neocaridina heteropoda in these aquariums for about a month or two to make sure the aquariums are ready to house shrimp!
More updates to [...]

As I watch these Caridina sp. acclimate to their new environment I have seen them go threw many color morphs from clear, to blue, to red all the way to brown. Bellow are a few more pictures of these shrimp!

I recently purchased a few shrimp from a member of one of the forums I frequent. He bought the shrimp as Amano Shrimp (which they obviously are not). He posted a few pictures of these shrimp and one of the females was berried.
Looking at the eggs it was easy to tell these shrimp were low [...]
