My report of: The Dutch Shrimp Contest 2014

[Shrimpmaster]

This weekend there is a big event in Holland: "Vivarium Beurs 2014". There will also be a stand from the GEK forum, a Dutch shrimp forum and also a Shrimp Contest. In this topic I will show pictures and video of this event. It's very difficult to make decent macro pictures on a shrimp show, so don't expect to much from the pictures. Taking video is easier though.

 

Tomorrow (Friday) I will be able to visit and have a sneak peak. If possible I will post some info already.

 

For now I have a picture of "SchorpioenW" the owner/manager of the dutch GEK forum:

 

 

 

Stay tuned!

Excellent . Cant wait for for more pics and vids :)

[Squiggle]

Awesome dude, can't wait to see the pics & vids. I am in the exhibition industry & that set up looks way too familiar, lol

[Shrimpy Daddy]

Are you sending any of your shrimps to the contest?

[Shrimpmaster]

Nope not this year. Had some trouble and not the adult shrimp of the quality I had in mind. Next year I will try.

 

But I did some aquascaping contest with a mate, will post details later.

 

I've visit the build up today. It's gonne be very nice. A lot of things about aquarium, terrarium and pallidarium. Also the show is nice, about 40 tanks I guess. Looking forward to see some shrimps in in. More coming soon :).

Cool~ I love aquascaping. That's my aquatic hobby before I started shrimp keeping. I will patiently wait for your photo.

A small teaser I've made to try to get a few more shrimp people go to the show:

Exciting stuff. Make sure you post lots of pics 

[KiwiBigD]

Bring it on, very keen to see :)

[Shrimpmaster]

The event was very nice! Lot's of things an animals. Lot of aquariums too.

 

The shrimp contest was a little disappointing. The organization told me they had some setbacks with the tanks and what breeders ship to them, different types then the told before. But it was nice to see that even in a small country a shrimp show was organized. Here some pictures form the setup. A video and more pictures of the shrimp will follow. I did not make photo's myself, but I know a few who did so I can show their pictures later.

Very cool dude, would love to have seen it for myself, very jealous!

[newbreed]

Amazing!! Maybe one day we can get this kind of event happening in Australia!!

 

Or maybe next year I might need to get on a plane and visit some shrimp competitions!!

[Guest]

Ahhhhh!! It's all so amazing!

[Shrimpmaster]

I guess I'm just spoiled when I read your comments.

Still working on the video, kinda short of time, you have to be a little patient...

[Shrimpmaster]

As promised, I've made a little video of Vivarium 2014 with included the Dutch Shrimp Contest. Hope you like it .
