Title: Another first for me...Tiger Shrimp
Post by: Ron Sower on June 22, 2013, 07:17:29 PM
I'm starting something I never thought I would do....I'm devoting one of my nano-tanks, one of my Evolve8's, solely to tiger shrimp!  When I left the hobby 30-some years ago, there was really no emphasis on shrimp at all.  Maybe someone would have some grass/ghost shrimp, but not the variety I started seeing when I re-joined the hobby 2-1/2 years ago.  When I got back into all this, I said I wasn't going to get into shrimp.  But DAMN!...those little things are cute!  And when there are no fish in the tank, they are always swimming around freely.

Wish me luck on keeping and breeding them...!  I'm gonna need it!

Good luck with the shrimp Ron. I had a few ghost shrimp they are neat when nothing is trying to eat them.
Nice score at the garage sale Jon.
