Sometimes it's better Not to be honest!

Post by Tonke »

Well for starters i was thinking about which shrimp can make the most babies and like doing it... so i naturally went to thinking about writing to some experts in the shrimpy area of the hobby... in a shrimpforum

I started a thread in the forum with my question about the best breeder and find myself painted in a corner with a bunch pf shrimp-enthusiasts calling me a bloody killer ... i shouldn't have mentioned the puffer :wink: .
So the lesson is learned... dont be honest in a shrimpforum :D

Shrimp is food not pets :rimshot: What where them people thinking in the shrimpforum.....LOL...jk J-P. No but seriously Tonke, that's too funny going into a shrimp forum asking about breedin shrimp for food for a puffer :ROFL2:. That would kinda be like a sushi chef coming in here asking to buy our puffers..lol.

Well considering how many people die from eating poorly prepared puffer I don't see why they don't just stick to other fish. :)
Then again I'm a puffer fan. :D

Well i didn't reveal my morbid intentions to the crustacean fans at first.. but they kind of sniffed it out :D , so then i did the dumb thing to reveal my true colors and then i was at their mercy :scared: .

But i got what i was looking for ... Cherry shrimps :thumb:
