paulvh Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hello everyone! Like so many others, I've spent a long while lurking around and absorbing all the new developments to the hobby since I've been out of it. I have kept and bred a variety of shrimps including various Neos, Pure Line CRS, Normal CRS(Dirty line? lol), and I took a while off from fresh and kept a nice little group of Sexy shrimp( Thor amboinensis ) in a small reef tank. I even managed to get the Sexy shrimp to breed, however their offspring have a free swimming larval stage and I had difficulty raising the young to benthic metamorphosis. I took a break from aquariums for a couple years, raising several sp. of thumbnail dart frogs. I got back into aquariums with high tech planted tanks, but since restarting about a year back, I've not really been satisfied with this side of the aquarium hobby and my tanks have been plagued by unrest and serial rescapes... so I am coming back to where I have always had a lot of interest Shrimpin' is where the heart lies. I've currently got a shrimp-only tenner cycling, set up with SL-Aqua soil (thanks discobee!) and am on the journey to figure out what to put in there. It's amazing how much Taiwan bees have come down in price since I was last in the game, and I have been considering giving those a go with the intention of possibly trying my hand at some of the more involved breeding. Anyway, nice to be here and hopefully contribute. I'll see you around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulvh Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks everyone! I must admit that I have been using the search function heavily for the last couple days, sometimes just typing random subjects in and reading all the threads I can find to catch myself up with the hobby. Not a huge amount has changed, but the thread content here is still really rich and interesting - especially genetics and when someone starts talking about "recipes" for a specific phenotype. You know a thread is loaded when you have to brush up on Mendelian genetics to follow along! Anyway, thanks for being so interesting! oem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
