I fear there is no cure for this madness.... Bill, it certainly looks like you have contracted the fatal Shrimp Insanity ;-) Jackie, thanks so much for your input! You may have the Shrimp Bug even worse than me :shock: Don't forget about your own health even when you're saving up for more shrimp an...

I'm glad that you decided to keep your greens. I love my snowballs. They're absolutely stunning. I have mine house with my green shrimp, but I now have to move half of my greens into another tank(they'll share with a few ghost shrimp) due to the about of breeding that's going on. Wow, that's exciti...

yes, unfortunately I agree with zapisto and Werner that that is a HUGE problem in the shrimp hobby. I have noticed from looking through as many N. palmata pictures as I can find that those guys do indeed express a lot of variability in color and even body shape. So I think Werner's absolutely right ...

thanks for sharing, guntank :) OK, update on my Shrimp Insanity. I will be increasing my breeding projects within the next few months to include snowball shrimp, opae ula, and Amano larvae. This would bring my collection of shrimp colonies to 6 (including the RCS, yellow, and green shrimp I have now...

Worried or not, the frogs will win and your shrimp will be a tasty memory. at the very least, even if the shrimp somehow survive, they will live a miserable existence in constant fear and you wouldn't get to appreciate their natural behavior or beauty :( I find shrimp most enjoyable when they're no...

no it is snowball.

thanks! Those will be my next on my Shrimp Wish List. They have a more uniform appearance than the N. palmata, it seems, so I would know what to expect

sorry, one more quick question

Is the shrimp at the top left of the wirbellose.de banner also a N. palmata?

Darn, I wish I could read German and other European languages.

Take care of aquabase, even if it is a cool (French database) knownledgement bas , it is often very wrong specially on shrimp. ahh, very good to know. Thanks! not the same articles but............ hehehe oops, I linked the wrong one. edit: deleted poor translation The translation isn't great, so I ...

hmm, so the orange insides are actually a parasite? That sucks. I was hoping it was just a really unique shrimp. Yes, it certainly is still attractive without the orange stuff. But if those shrimp are all harboring a kind of parasite, I'll stick to snowball shrimp :wink: Werner, thank you for the gr...

What is this shrimp?

The seller calls it simply 'orange glass shrimp'. It is native to China and this is apparently how it looks in the wild. How beautiful!

Does anyone know how it reproduces?

whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one

Neon, thanks for playing along

oh yeah, one more way I knew I was a Shrimp Nut.

I automatically converted monetary amounts into how many shrimp that equates to. Ex) my car required $200 worth of electrical repairs. In my head I did the math: OK, that means I'll have to sell 40-50 green shrimp to make up for that expense

I knew I had a problem when I went through periods of near-obsession over shrimp. I thought about them almost every waking moment, I saw them in my head whenever I closed my eyes, when I slept I had dreams about shrimp breeding projects. But it really crystallized for me when I lost batch after batc...

I've seen that 'dish' before in some documentary. It turned my stomach. I couldn't stand that 1) the little shrimpies were still alive and 2) the marinade and spices were obviously hurting them. In the video I saw, they showed the shrimp (that looked very much like a kind of grass shrimp) being dipp...
