New here

[Jaymes]

Hi all, im new here fairly new to shrimp. Started off with my first couple pairs of red cherry shrimp about 8 months ago now have over 2000 red cherries, few hundred yellow cherries, some black cherries a couple chocolates, a pair of berried sunkist cherries, red/clear rilli shrimp, 100 plus red/blue rilli shrimp, some crs and cbs, getting a few blues from my chocolates that i plan to line breed from. Looking forward to learning a lot more about shrimp here.

Jaymes.

Hi welcome to SKF , MTS- multi tank syndrome- once you start with shrimp you need more and more tanks to house all the different varieties - seems like you are already there.

Haha yeah well I already had the setup that Im using for my shrimp before i got my first shrimp, it was my fighter setup. 15 kmart aquariums on a rack from bunnings. When I got out of fighters and found the world of shrimp i just converted the setup to suit. Each tank is about 13L with a single sponge filter.

Sounds cool....definitely looking fwd to see pic.....love to see masses of shrimps :-)

Hey Jaymes, welcome to SKF.

Try hosting your pics on Photobucket or a similar site, then use the IMG links here.

Hey Jaymes and welcome to SKF!

I must say that is a wicked rack setup! And some absolutely gorgeous shrimp housed in it.

:)

Hi James, very cool looking rack welcome

[Jaymes]

Thanks for the comments all. I should get a recent pic of the rack as it looks much different to that pic. That one was taken before the shrimps went in it.

[NoGi]

Welcome and impressive little setup you have

[bozzy]

[Jaymes]

I sure am. Was hooked from my first lot of red cherries.

[Squiggle]

Hahaha, I think that how all of us started, I know there's a few(myself included) that started off with a couple of free red cherries, most expensive freebies I've ever got. :victorious:

It's good to have another enthusiast on board.
