Ok, my cherries are all popping out shrimplets like crazy.
I must have about 60 or so already in my 10 gallon.


When I get shipments in, the shrimps look to be about 2 weeks old, give or take.

Would there be any issues shipping shrimp that are 1 to 2 weeks old (besides them getting eaten by fish in someone's tank)

I know younger shrimps are easier to ship...

Advice would be helpful.

Edit***
The shrimps I usually get from people are 2 weeks old.

Is there an issue shipping out 1 week old shrimplets.

nope, I've shipped shrimp 1-2 weeks old numerous times and they were fine. Just make sure the person you're sending it to makes sure all the shrimp are taken out of the bag when they recieve it as they are so small.

I noticed the baby shrimp you have are only from 3 mothers. I wouldnt recomend selling shrimp from only 3 mothers as they lack genetic variation. just a suggestion.

Maybe you think I was talking about my crystal shrimps. Three of my them are currently berried. Those will end up being low grade B/C probably. Straight to the 33g they go.

I'm going to be crossbreeding for different patterns with the crystals, and may post some stock for sale in the spring depending on how they look. I hope for some flower patterns.
