Thanks for the pics, Becky!

I am always glad to see some chinese websites about shrimp since most of the websites about shrimp out there are either German or Japanese.

This shows that ShrimpMania is SPREADING!!!!!

I know for a fact that over here in Malaysia, esp around the KL area, the LFS cannot produce enough shrimps to satisfy demand! Supply normally lasts at most 1 week for a less popular kind like malayan while rednose or cherries or bee normally gets sold off within 2 days!

Cheers,

KG

Very glad to see that my shrimp friends enjoy the pictures I discovered. I love those pictures too.

I didn't know German and Japanese keep pet shrimps.

About the fourth picture, let me translate the Chinese words here for your reference : "Real Bee Shrimp - Crystal Shrimp is modified from its genes".

Let me know if there is any Chinese words you wish to know.

Hi Becky!

Thanks for translating.

I actually know some Chinese myself (Mandarin). I used to be able to have conversations in chinese but I have not spoken it in 6-7 years, so I have forgotten quite a bit.

I should start refreshing my memory again (once I find the time) since I love Chinese.

Plus...there are so many interesting shrimp species in China and it helps to know Chinese well if I want to travel to China to catch them.

Here's a little bit of Chinese in Pinyin: Zhongguo you hen duo piaoliang de xie!

Hi Mustafa,

I speak Mandarin too. Wow, you still remember so much Hanyu Pinyin after 6 to 7 years. (For most shrimp friends' reference, Hanyu Pinyin is a kind of Chinese phonetics).

xie = crab
xia = shrimp

That's just a typing error

Hi Becky,

Yes, I know pinyin very well still and also remember a lot of Chinese characters. I used to know about 2000 chinese charcters (both read and write), but now I only know a fraction of that. I am sure I can become fluent in Chinese, though, if I lived in China for a couple of months.

And yes...I mixed up "crab" with "shrimp" in chinese...haha. At least they are pretty similar animals

.

If you have more chinese shrimp website you want to share, feel free!

2000 Chinese characters is quite a big databank. Local Chinese people just use 3000 to 5000 words in average.

Last time I just shared with my shrimp friends here photos attached to a Chinese website coz I was afraid they couldn't read Chinese words. In this case, next time I'll post here what I've got.

They are only "hidden" until someone asks.
