2019 - What is YOUR Favorite shrimp?

[Autumnsky]

One friend from Instagram asked the question, "What is your favorite shrimp?"

It is a leading question, and I figured in a quick second I had an answer.

But no. Not the case after all.

Recently seeing a large number of emerging (to the USA/North America anyway) shrimp varieties and new shrimp overall, it is apparent this is not 2012 when I became interested in Dwarf Shrimp.

For me, since I probably love inverts more than fish - get more excited about them anyway...

Originally I wanted a tank of royal blue Orange Eye Blue Tigers plus Orange Sakura.


Caridina
These are the shrimp I had the most enjoyment keeping/raising so far.

Neo
Although I haven't had a tank of Orange Sakura they look amazing in a tank with the green in the plants and pop on DW!

Other type shrimp
Blue Vampire shrimp
Ataya Gabonensis

Saltwater
Sexy Shrimp Thor amboinensis, are the most fun to have in the tank - If you haven't seen these moving in the aquarium it is pretty funny.
