Hey, I'm a shrimper, relatively new to actually keeping them. I'm from New York State. I've read.....too much.... about them, though.

I've got 2 RCS in a 5g that is heavily planted.

I can get others, I'm willing to ship off aquabid. I'm just not willing to spend a FORTUNE off aquabid yet, unless it's an amazing deal on a rarer shrimp than CRS/ CBS/RCS ect.

Some cardinal shrimp, 6-8 for $40? I'd drop 50 for them and shipping in a heartbeat lol.

Yeah our shrimp forums are new/tryout shrimpfever give them a bit of time and I think you'll see more people posting.

I have an RCS tank, im trying to get an RO/DI system for CRS and such. My next tank is going to be snowballs or blue pearls.

 

[Fishandmusic81]

I just have ghosts lol
But I'm looking to make a shrimp tank of RCS

 

[LyndaB]

I have rcs, bamboo, amano and ghost shrimp.

 

[phoenixkiller]

I'm a shrimp keeper, new to it, and I live in Texas. I would guess that people are only keeping RCS for the most part because they are very easy to keep and breed.

 

[Niki]

I am from Alberta, Canada. I keep RCS...they are my fish ever pet shrimp and I love them. I have about 6 in a ten gallon with guppy fry. They are pretty common here and easy to obtain...

AA has a lot of new to planted Aquariums and Shrimp people. I always advise to start with RCS, learn on them before getting more expensive, sensitive Shrimp like CRS/CBS or Rilli Shrimp.

I love my Crystals but my RCS are much easier
Plus retail prices for even low grade Crystals is sometimes ridiculous. I buy from hobbyists. My club members breed Shrimp and two are importing Shrimp.

I've got a place that sells S+ or SS (can't remember which) for $3.49 each.

But yeah I am starting small. And I kind of want to breed a strong strain of cherry out of the weak stock I'm sure I'll receive.

 

[LyndaB]

I haven't really found quality rcs nearby. Would love to venture into different species, but can I do other small shrimp in the rcs tank or will they interbreed (not breeding them for sale purposes)?

 

[Cornstar]

I am from NYC, I have a RCS tank and but just testing to ensure that I can properly I can handle Red Crystal Shrimps.

 

[MABJ]

No fish stores near me carry RCS on a regular basis. Just feeder ghosts.

I'd like to be able to breed them and sell culls to my LFS and good batches to fellow AA people.

 

[calfishguy]

Ive been looking for Rcs for 3 months and finally found some. Sadly I cleaned out the two lfs stocks. I also wanted crs but they were both out.

Wish there were more people in my area that were into inverts. Hopefully as everyone's intrests grow they'll become more available here in central Pennsylvania.
