Hi everybody, I couldn't see any stream there because the hill was too vertical and tall. I could only see water dripping down drop by drop from above. Yes, I guess it's possible that they were washed down during heavy rain. OK, no problem. Let me go there again and take a digital photo. However, la...

I Discovered Wild Shrimps !

Hey, I went to Shing Mun Reservoir in Hong Kong yesterday and discovered wild tiny shrimps (1 cm in length) in a super tiny pool :smt026 The pool was by the hill under some trees. The most surprising thing is that the pool is just around 8 inches by 8 inches, around 3 to 4 inches deep. There is just...

Something more : Some Taiwan CRS keepers focus on reproduction (reproduce as many as possible) whilst some of them focus on creating top-standard CRS. (1) Most of them suggest the use of 'Mung Tok' stones. I don't know what it is exactly in English. I can only translate the sound. The stones are not...

It's me again :)

I've read a few more chapters. A lot of crystal red keepers of Taiwan suggest micro-organism powder (made in Japan, the packing is in silver) for babies. They say that it can greatly enhance their survival rate.

Let me answer the question put forward by a shrimp friend days ago. According to the author, the baby cherries in the ponds eat floating "eel powder" whist the adults eat sinking nutritious food. Both types are dry food. The author only mentions that nutritious food rich in vitamins is a k...

One more point:

The article doesn't mention how to contact the author. I only have the ISSN number of this book and the email address of the publisher. I only know what ISBN number is, don't know if ISSN number means the same thing. Anyway, here it is:

ISSN 1022-7539

Aren't blue shrimps blue in color once they're born or when they're grown-ups? By the way, the Taiwan writer says that the cherries are given special food to enhance their red color. Besides, a photo in the book shows that the cherries are selected by workers before they enter the marekt. Dozens of ...

The book reads:

Underground water goes into the ponds/ pools. There are holes and nets are covering the holes so that the little cherries won't be drained away when old water is drained away.

The article also reads:

Adults and babies live together. Sinking food is used every day, after that, tiny floating food is used so that the babies can get enough food to eat.

Tiny Shrimps in Giant Ponds

Hi shrimp friends, Hello ! I finally bought the Taiwan book I saw weeks ago. I've only read a few pages. It's so interesting to see how Taiwan people rear cherry shrimps in a commercial way. There are photos in addition to words. Wow, it turns out that the shrimps are kept outdoor in ponds and each ...
