I keep ghost shrimp. I have kept red cherries.

Right now, I'm really into triops. I have several species. I will probably have eggs for sale soon.

I'd really like to acquire some ninja shrimp, plus several other types of freshwater dwarf shrimp.

I currently have only Red-clawed Macro shrimp, Snowballs, and Red Cherry shrimp, all FW, all planted, 33XL, 10, and 20-long respectively. All are breeding, but the snowball shrimp are dying out very slowly - they ave never done well for me.

Technically, I guess you could say that I keep and breed the Hawaiian red BW shrimp, but they are in one of those Eco-sphere things, but as it is a closed system all you need do is get the light right. It is between 8 and 9 years old ATM.

In the past I have keep quite a number of different shrimp.

Breed cherry shrimp and they're fed almost everything. They get some of everything that every fish eats.

Cherry Shrimp in with my non-puffer fish and they get shrimp pellets and help the snails and pleco's with algae wafers. Got them to breed so I could feed them to my dp's but the dp's don't see them as food and I have actually one dp lay on gravel while shrimp walked over it!

Doing research in order to support some RCS, I'd love to breed them...
