Yes, this is my second breeding project and my first one isn't even off the ground yet. I've considered just creating a fish room thread, but since I have the Panther Crab Breeding Project thread it'd be a headache and a half, so I'll have each breeding project separate from the others. Also, since this is an invertebrate I think it fits better in the inverts section of the forum vs the breeding section which is for "discussions on breeding freshwater or brackish fish", but don't worry as I have a few of those in mind when I start getting an inflow of cash
And yes, this is the money ($) maker for my business. Well, the first of many. It's an expensive shrimp being sold for around $12 on average, but there is a seller on aquabid that i'll bid on his shrimp that goes for as low as $6/shrimp which is a steal
Anyway, this is going to be a slow progress build, breeding, and update thread with many pics and youtube video links attached, so stay tuned!
PS, I have a profile 90% complete, but I wanted to include a link to this thread so I could unclutter my signature a bit by having a link to the profile which'll include a link to this thread.
Future plans for shrimpy money makers include all types of rili shrimp (red, blue [velvet], carbon, etc), blue diamond, and perhaps some others, but those will have their own threads. I may combine all the rili shirmps into one big thread, but we'll see.
It's important to note I chose this shrimp because it's attractive, expensive, 'hard-to-keep' (I aim to prove otherwise on many breeding projects I embark on), and they have almost the exact same water parameters as panther crabs seeing as they come from the same lake system (and potentially the same lake).
Some future branches of this breeding project I may embark on is keeping other shrimps from this region of the world and perhaps setting up a biotope tank of the lake (system?). However, each new species will be a separate thread, and the biotope tank will also be a separate thread.
That being said, a lot of the things on this thread may be repeated on my panther crab breeding project thread, and vice versa. However, your support is greatly appreciated and I'll try to keep the overlap to a minimum, but be forwarned that it's virtually impossible to not overlap some things since they're in the same fish room and all the other things that overlap (for example, the unboxing videos). This warning and attempt to keep things separate also applies to other breeding threads or biotope tanks or other offshoots that may develop along the way. Please keep in mind, however, that I'm largely making this all up (the organization and other aspects) as I go along
