Re: [GSAS-board] shrimp $



Dear Board,

 

 

I have a windfall of a couple of minutes here and would like to put my ideas of for comments.  Please feel free to disagree or comment;

 

·         I see 4 speakers (KEN, Shango, Jimmy, and ?)

·         Each speaker has a 5-10 slide talk to introduce a topic

o   Intro to shrimp (Ken?)

§  Requirements (temp, pH, hardness, min tank size…)

§  Feeding

§  Breeding

o   Setting up a shrimp tank (Shango of ?)

§  Picture of a shrimp tank that shows relevant parts like substrate, role of cover, airstone?

o   Personal observations  (Shango of ?)

§  Someone that likes to take pictures and can share a few “special moments”

o   Common Shrimp types (Jimmy)

§  Ie these are the shrimp Jimmy brought.

·         3 mics in total with one for the Mod, One for the speakers, and one for Q’s.

 

In thinking how I can contribute, I have a pair of 5.5 gal tanks taking up space for a project I will likely never do.   I could bring  a tank, light, plants, and substrate to the meeting and set them up with aged water.   The tanks could sit on the speaker table and serve as a reference.  I would also like to have live shrimp in them to give an example.  Afterwards the tank and all could go into a door prize or auction or the shrimp could be sold out separately..   I would like to restart the “fish of the month” program with $30-50 in shrimp to Jimmy but I also appreciate Shango’s comments on common vs. odd shrimp and the price gap of commercial vs. hobby.  I can pull (and attribute) shrimp pictures to project behind Jimmy if he would like.    I am but one vote on the board though.  So what do you think?

 

-Paul

I dont really have anything to say unfortunately.  I don't pay much attention to my tank chemistry.  I just get really lucky because shrimp love all the moss I have and go nuts.  That and I discovered cuttlefish bone.  That is the extent of what I have to share.  If I had any expertise, I'd be glad to share but alas I just ignore them and they populate.
