Didn't show these before....didn't want to hijack this thread....
...a really crappy pic of my Taiwan Fire Red Cherry Shrimp.
This makes me want to try my hand at shrimp! They're just so friggin cute... The only ones I find here though are cherries (on occasion) and ghosts. How about an updated pic of the project studd?

You seem to have experience most of us inexperienced do not have and I was curious to know, what the difference is between caridina and neocaridina are. I've not been able to find much on these two subjects and their differences. Any information you or anyone may have on these two subjects would be a great help. Thanks.
My appologies Studd Muffin for temporarly stealing the thread and changing the topic of discussion, but I couldn't help myself. My appologies. Now to get back to the original topic . . . you seem to be on your way for an aditional income of sorts and I hope you have much success with your new shrimp. It sounds like extreme fun, from what izzy_here says. Adictive too.
I wonder what I could do with my 110 gal.? Any suggeastions?

You should get like a ton of shrimp and put them in your 110g

A TON OF SHRIMP? 2,000 LBS. WORTH? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'd be evicted from my life, my home and my family. I'd have no room for water, for the shrimp. Come on, lets cut it down to at least 1/128th of a ton = 15.625 lbs. of shrimp, OK? Then I might be able to put in at least a cup of water in my 110 gallon. If not I guess I'd have to have YOU purchase me a 10,000 gallon tank for all of my shrimp. (jk)
No, a tank full of shrimp like that would be to insane. Totally to insane. Only a stark raving lunatic would be that possessed to do something that extreme. I plan on having my 110 gal. heavily planted with approximately 35 different types of live plants, some rock and small to medium sized Manzanita branches and some shrimp related to the Cherry Red Shrimp. Right now though, they can only be purchased from Japan at the moment, to my knowledge. I'm going to search around and try and find some in the U.S. market. I just have to find some ethical and reliable vendors that will carry them. If I was to go through my LFS, it would take 2 years to get them in on the first order. Unless of course, I was to order a TON of them . . .
I'm trying to find out more information in other areas, where I can find out more about these crustacious little creatures, like books, aquatic journals on the national level (like through the Library of Congress) and articles through my public library and state universities, from states along the east coast (when they gets here) and the west coast (it's closer and can acquire it in 3 to 4 days from Washington and Oregon States) and possibly Universities around the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast Areas.
My public Library does most of the research on things like that for me when I need the help as my public has very little info on aquatic life. They have the resources and contacts to locate those types of information. All I have to do is put in a request for the books, articles and publications and bingo they get it for me in about 7 to 10 days. Who knows, maybe I'll find some decent research material. The question is though, what decade? I have a feeling this request is going to take some time to locate for me.
Maybe not though. We'll see.
