As the ambiguous title says, I'm newly old. Or oldly new? Oddly new seems the best description.
I have frequented these forums, in the past, mostly interested in shrimp. Life conspired and I cut back on my shrimp breeding, and all thing pertaining to it. I've recently become more focused on it, though I doubt I'll ever get back to having ~30 tanks again. I've been breeding shrimp for a long time now, something like over a decade.
To those that don't know, I am mostly interested in Macrobrachium shrimp. They are the larger cousins of dwarf shrimp.
I've bred;
M. dayanum/assamensis; Red Claw shrimp (there is question about the species classification)
M. kulsiense; Pearl/Sand/Snowflake shrimp
M. lamarrei lamarrei; Whisker shrimp
M. scabriculum; no true common name
M. sp
M. sp
The last two were species that I, nor the seller, could identify. The one species that I have desperately searched for (but can never find, for sale) is M. eriocheirum; Fuzzy Claw shrimp.
I have supplied shrimp to various pet stores, and sold my excess quantities to people online. I am not currently selling shrimp, and do not foresee selling them, in the near future.
I also have a handful of dwarf species, and other misc shrimp/invertebrates. The one that surprises most people is the colony of triops. I really like these primitive critters. They are active swimmers and explorers.
