Hello from Brisbane

Hi, I'm Jemma and I'm from Brisbane

Been keeping and breeding shrimp for the past few years.

Yellow and red cherries, chocolate cherries, sunkist, rillis, blue tigers, and now i'm getting into Natives, Riffles, Darwin red nose, Blackmore river caridina, North Australian Chameleon shrimp, and soon I shall get 4 other native species :) Natives are very underrated, they are very cool.

I have my own facebook shrimp site called Hard core prawns Australia - shrimp fanatics lots of articles and information for beginners and shrimp keepers, I like to help out where I can and offer advice.

Hope to learn more and check out what you have on this forum

Jemma :)

Hey Jemma, another native fan. Awesome. Bob (northboy) and I are trying to get some articles on natives put together for the library. Definitely worth the $12.50 for premium membership to access this info. I'll be adding some habitat characteristics for riffles over the next couple of days, should be useful info for keeping them in aquaria. I'm sure Bob has info (or is getting it) on the habitat where he gets his riffles, so it will be interesting to compare.

Anyway, enjoy the forum.

Fishmosy I'm considering joining the premium membership, I love articles and getting as much info in my head as I can, especially when it comes to Natives, not as much info out there as I would expect there to be, but as I said, they are underrated

Dean thank you for sharing this site with me, its fantastic!

ok so you wanted pictures...here they are

Riffle Shrimp P1010965.jpgP1010282-1.jpg

The Red Cherry female in this picture is 4cm long! The other shrimp next to her are actually full grown adults. We experimented and put a hand full of reds into an ibc container outside and let it go green, chucked in plants etc, and this was the result, super big cherries!
