Shrimp Sizing

Recommended Posts

Okay, I see all these terms for different aged shrimp:

Shrimplets - Pee Wees - Juvies - Sub Adults - Adults

 

 

 

Can someone give me a reference of what size and/or age constitutes each name?

Is there a common definition of each?

Time and age do not = size.  Too many variables.  This reference is for neos:

 

Shrimplets are usually babies.

 

Peewees are around 1/4" or so

 

juvies are larger than 1/4" and go up to just entering the stage of getting ready to breed

 

young adult is breeding age- see saddles

 

Adult is developed well and largest.

You almost posted them in order.

Just shrimplets are everything minus adults.

Cool, I figured that was about right. Hey did you ever decide if you were going to get that nano frag tank? I just couldn't bite the bullet at that price!

I couldn't bite the bullet either but I have an offer from them for $52 for a slightly smaller size. 8x8x6
