He's going to send me a new batch on April 9th or thereabouts. Joe has nice shrimps but I'm not sure if he has the "best". The best will end up costing you hundreds of dollars per shrimp from higher end breeders. A local breeder in my neck of the woods started his own lineage with PRLs imported from Marcus Hafermann in Germany. Much higher quality but at 7X the cost. $20 vs $140 per shrimp.

Different breeders have different breeding and culling techniques so the quality can vary. Could you get her to send a pic of what she's selling and post it on here?

zenster Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Mike, thanks for the pic. They are definitely nicer than the ones Joe sent me. Do you know how many generations she has bred since the original batch? The ones from Joe were directly imported from Taiwan and seem quite weak. I bought 20 and only 8 are remaining. Memphis had quite a few die off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehawkrocs Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 As far as I know shes had them for over a year. She sells a decent amount to others and Ive never heard of any issues with any of them. I dont think you would be disappointed in them.

She has the Hafferman lineage, and had at least 3-4 generations. mikehawkrocs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see what those $100+ look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
