Anyone keep an aquarium? Specifically shrimp? I know the delightful Ammonites a bit of a fan. Fun little critters to keep ;-)

I had one of those peppermint 'Jacque' from nemo shrimps.

Unfortunately I also had an urchin in the same tank which took it upon himself to eat all of the other invertebrates

So don't house them together!

I have often wondered at keeping prawns live for bait in a large plastic drum.

I think all you need is an aerator and some fish food.

I may, or may not, have any comment at this time.

I have guppies.
I m interested in getting some large tiger shrimps for show and some smaller ones to feed the fish
I saw some live shrimps at the Royal Easter show in Sydney - amazing....
I have a nano tank suited for the little shrimps.
I may , or may not be wearing pants

Badamj better have deep pockets, some of the more exotic looking blues and whites are several hundred bucks up to thousands! im pretty sure I have a mum to be so far, going to see how they go then get into different varieties. It would be good to know any others keeping them

Oh they don't think twice about eating their dead - that's why they're on the no-no list for Islam and Judaism lol Bamamj a nano is great for them I have a little fluval chi tank for mine, 25lt and they love it! You should give them a try! red cherry shrimp (RCS) are good to start with, or glass shrimp (they're harder to spot in the tank though) before moving onto crystal red shrimp (CRS) or the cooler coloured ones They're pretty easy going, don't ask for much
