Thought I'd post a game with a prize pack for the winner in light of releasing a new range of shrimp products to the Australian market, Mizu Sakura, A true taste of Japan in your aquarium. The prize includes: Mizu Sakura foods pack delivered to your house anywhere in Oz. Every member of skf welcome to enter. (Australian based members only sorry) All you have to do to enter is guess the number of shrimp in this photo :) closest guess wins! This is just for a bit of fun and to give away some great products for people to try. Winner will be announced: Saturday August 5th- 8pm. Hope you have fun and happy shrimping. BEST GUESS AT THIS PIC :) CHECK OUT THE GOODIES :)

Inspired by @fishmosy spot a shrimp competition and @perplex generosity of giving away his prize. I have decided to hold a membership Powerball Raffle for all our members. How it will work is everyone is free to pick a number between 1 and 45 (for now it will be one each). On the 1st October 2015 there will be a Powerball lotto draw and If someone picks the powerball number I will pay for a platinum membership on their behalf. If two people pick the same number the person that picked it first is the one that gets it. Good luck.

Thanks to a massive effort of the team from Shrimp Club Victoria, and their sponsors, this first national championship was a great success. It was great to see all the beautiful shrimp on display, but also nice to meet a few more people including some awesome interstate travelers. Special thanks to you guys for making the effort to come down. I hope the championship next year is even bigger and judging by the success and great vibe of this one, I think that's a certainty. Congratulations to all the entrants and especially prize winners. Anyway I know you're all waiting to see the photos, so here goes. "Blue Dream" Neocaridina davidi First time I'd actually seen this strain. Wow! "Fire Red" Neocaridina davidi Wow again! "Orange Rili (Blue Body)" Neocaridina davidi "Chameleon Shrimp" Caridina sp. NT4 Such a beautiful Australian native species. I really like this pic even if those out-of-focus highlights are just horrible. The rest is good IMO. "Black Crystal / Bee Shrimp (CBS)" Caridina logemanni "Red Crystal / Bee Shrimp (CRS)" Caridina logemanni How's the legs on these things (especially the girl)? I must have liked them to show more than one photo, plus they were pretty well-behaved. "K14"grade CRS Caridina logemanni This line of shrimp are really lovely but weren't as well behaved as the last group. "Tangerine Tiger" Caridina mariae I was really taken with those Tangerine Tigers , they're even nicer in real life than I'd expected. There were a couple of tanks of them but no OEBT, strangely. You noticed how I've tried to apply the new Caridina names above? Sadly that's where it ends - I think everything else are probable to definite hybrids. "Fancy Tiger" Caridina hybrid Even though these guys were just little, they were already really striking. Hopefully there will be plenty more "Fancy Tigers" at the next championship! "Extreme" King Kong Shadow Pandas Wine Reds I'm going to wind it up there for now. There's only a few more pictures to go but they're of some of the loveliest shrimp, so make sure you keep looking.
