Hello, Name's Triggs

[Triggs]

Hey all what's cracking.

My name's Triggs, I'm a 25 year old from Melbourne.

Been into shrimps now for round 6-9 months give or take, It all started down a local dam when I was trying to catch a Yabby to put into my new tank at the time.

Didn't get any yabbies but what I did catch were these little clear prawn looking things. Looked kinda cool so I thought I'd put them in my tank and do some google work and find out what they're and if anyone kept them in Aquariums.

Got home and started researching and found them to be "Glass shrimp". The more research I did the more beautiful species, varieties, and variations I found of fresh water shrimp.

fast forward to now, And my love for shrimp has just grown more and more over time. I now have a bunch of Cherries I've been learning with in a 20L nano setup with java moss, water sprite and half a dozen anubias nana petites.

I've got a few other tanks I plan to set up in the near future for CBS and one for Glass shrimp however, I am currently looking at moving to a new place so have decided not to set them up until after the move.

I look forward to reading all your posts and threads, And thank you for setting up a forum dedicated to Australian shrimp keepers.

Thanks mate.

Like you said, better to have all the Aussie Shrimp Keepers in the same place than scattered around a few different sites.

This site has many members who will easily lure new keepers in, Yourself included. people like you and Nogi have been quite a great help in my learning of shrimps.

How do I get access? Is it a post thing/time thing or??

[Loach]

I think its a posting, time and behavior thing lol. You should have full access by tonight.

welcome mate we can all learn from each other

[Triggs]

:-D Thanks again for all the welcome's everyone.

As soon as I manage to fix my camera i'll take some snaps to show you all my tanks. my 20L is all grown in and mature now and without self bias I think it's looking really nice quite proud of my efforts with it :P

Got a few projects I'm gonna start when I finally move to the new house, and after I sell off a few Guppies I'm gonna set up a Yabby tank which you may all be interested in seeing also.

Thanks again for the welcome :)
