Apparently one of my tanks contains a bit of a beatnik Hippie, aside from the over grown algae he seems happy enough always getting about the tank eating. The other day when I was removing algae from the hollow log the BN hangs out in I almost ripped off Mr Hippie snails hairstyle since he was pretending to be just another algae covered bump on the log.

thanks @Jayc I'm glad I don;t have to give up completely and maybe I will even enjoy this phase more. now my shrimp will be left to their own devices I won't know what I might end up with and that was always the thrill of the Taitibees except I picked their partners -now it will be a free for all and you just never know what you might get ?

You are the queen of shrimp Ineke. You will still be even after downsizing. At least you are not giving them up all together. And we will still have your knowledge to share on SKFA. Good luck with the next phase of your hobby.

Please welcome into the world :-) These are the cutest little baby critters I've seen. Already bigger than some shrimp I've purchased too :-) Love and peace Will

I get the same °°)

I may have mentioned this before - getting a bit old here and my rememberer is forgetting things? I have closed down my shrimp room as I can no longer manage looking after so many tanks due to my back and neck injuries. I keep getting requests to buy my shrimp but sadly I will now only rarely have any shrimp available. I am only keeping a few tanks for my pleasure which has meant putting my pure lines in together with my hybrids. I just can't carry water - even with an almost automatic setup I still end up carrying buckets of water- and find it hard spending time cleaning tanks and catching shrimp. It was a very hard decision to make after all these years in the hobby but now it's done so I will just have to enjoy the few tanks I have. Just as well my main breeding was Taitibees towards the end and I do LOVE my Taitibees so although it means my pure TB will now be in with the Taitibees it isn't such a bad thing for me. So thank you to the people requesting to buy my shrimp but I genuinely will have very few to sell or give away now. I am still working on my yellow from Tangerine tigers- they are a lovely yellow with none of the spots and stripes of the tangerines and also the yellow headed clear body ones. These are in their own tank for now until I decide what to do with them. So I now only have 2 tanks - 1x110 litre and 1 x210 litre - plus my cull ponds which have some very nice shrimp in them - Neos in 1 and Taitibees in the other. I'm also going to resurrect one of my very first Aqua one cubes to have a small tank with a Betta , a few catfish and three very nice Bloody Mary shrimp I found in one of the tanks I closed. I will make sure they have lots of hiding places and hope they survive. That will be the exact mix I had when I first started keeping shrimp a small cube with a few shrimp and a couple of fish! Back to the good old days. But anyway thanks again to my many friends in the hobby. I will still be beavering away in the back ground but not really involved in breeding anymore ?
