Can't wait to see more info, as well as what they are looking for for body standards.

[DETAquarium]

Wow! I need to start the selection process now. This is a giant leap for the US.

[Soothing Shrimp]

HUGE!

[DETAquarium]

Would it be awesome to say that I already got the approval to go?

 

Is there a website or anything up yet?

[Jaykidding]

Oh whew it's 2016 I thought it was this year haha. I'm getting my selective breeding done, just gotta make sure I have some white body mosura though

[Soothing Shrimp]

No website yet that I know of, but there is a facebook page.

This is sooo going to be the start of higher quality US shrimp being bred.

[Lyana]

So would shadow pandas be part of the king kong entry. This is so cool! Was there supposed to be pictures with your post Soothing Shrimp?

[Soothing Shrimp]

No pics.  Just info.

[Lyana]

No pics.  Just info.

 

Ah, okay. Was confused because it says check the photos below.

[Soothing Shrimp]

Oh! Lol. That was copied from discobee's page.  He took that info from an Asian competition.

[Lyana]

Lol, no worries. I hope I can go, this is so cool.

Lol.

And don't forget to budget for all the fun things there are to do in the chicagoland area. Of course a trip to the Shedd Aquarium seems appropriate (and not inexpensive). Then you can all drop a little hint in the comment box that they should have some dwarf FW shrimps

[plamski]

I"ve never been on shrimp/fish competition Are you bringing your own tanks,filters light... in order to show your shrimps?

[Soothing Shrimp]

Nope.  They have them set up already.  You provide the shrimp.  Usually through mail.

This thread makes me drool a little bit. Shrimp spot forum dinner and show off table required. Along with massaging rolling lazy boys with cup holder for shrimp viewing.
