hi welcome to SKF

[Slantula]

Thanks guys and gals

At the moment I am breeding mostly L numbers 201,002,046 lots of peps and just got some new 270's to try. I have tonnes of red cherry shrimp wh o keep my Pleco tanks clean but am in the process of tracking down some blue cherries and also maybe some crs. I have also got some riffle shrimp which I am currently trying to breed which I think might have happened already cause there is a couple in there that are smaller then I remember the originals being. Can anyone tell me exactly what shrimp are available in Australia because it doesn't seem like there is much info out there confirming what is here?

[Squiggle]

Ooooooo! L046's are my favourite :encouragement: basically you can get cherries, red, blue, yellow, orange, chocolate, black & green, there's also Rillis, red, blue gene red & blue, all the grades of CRS & CBS & then you can get Taiwan bee, panda, King Kong, wine red, ruby red & Bluebolts, there's also tigers & tibees. That's pretty much in order of difficulty of keeping as well :victorious:

[Slantula]

It's been hard enough tracking down some blue cherries so I would hate to be looking for the ones at the bottom of that list.i would love to own them all though

G'day mate, good to see you over here :)

[Slantula]

Hey mick,yeh Ben aka fishmosy got me onto it cause I told him I was keen on getting some more shrimp. I bought 10 yellow cherries about a year ago and within 2 weeks had one left. Turns out there was 2 dragonfly larvae in the tank,little #######. But I am keen to have another crack at them.

Welcome to our forum. :)

Welcome to the club! Pics of your L's would be sweet to see.

[Slantula]

I don't really have any but I will try and get some. The fish room is quite dim lighting so whenever I try to get photos in the light they r quite sheepish

[Slantula]

I was wondering if anyone new much about pumpkin shrimp. Are they a cherry shrimp if not what r they

[torface]

Yes they are cherry shrimp :)

[ineke]

Yes pumpkin are a cherry variety

[CNgo2006]

Why do all the cherry shrimp varieties get special names except the "YELLOW" kinda feel for them, from now on we should call them "Lemon Shrimp!"

[torface]

I thought they were Wolverine shrimp :p

There is a guy advertising some online and he says specifically that pumpkin shrimp are not a kind of cherry. Just wanted to make sure that he was full of it
