I used to be mad into the Fish hobby but then I've slowly weened off it now because I just don't have the time to take care of them. I had MTS (Multi-Tank Syndrom)... and was at one point running like 8+ tanks, water changes alone would take up a huge chunk of my day (like 5+ hours) ... but I've cut down to just 1 small 15g tank now until I have more time in the future ... these are pictures of my old tanks that I had a couple years back ...

My Red Belly Piranha's, they are actually pretty shy, but when they attack or are frightened, wow damn they move fast ... I would NOT want my finger in there ... lol ... it's fun watching them rip pieces of meat apart though ... messy to clean up after ...


My Green-Spotted puffers, 2 of them, stalking a giant marbled cray!... epic battle time!... haha I'm just kidding, sadly my big mama crayfish passed away after I've had it for 3 years... she was responsible for having many many little cray babies so I could feed my puffers, so on this day she would be my 2 little GSP's buffet.


Also kept a few Saimese Fighting Fish, they are calm and beautiful.


The baby cray's playing tug of war with a dead Neon Tetra... such is the circle of life!


2 older crays chillin' in their holes.

Deon....one 15 gallon?? That's it??? LOL

I used to have MTS too, then time became a factor.

I now have 2x 2g + 2x betta bowls.


I definitely miss having a big tank.

Haha yup ... only one 15gallon now, nice quick 10 minute water change then I can go back to doing other stuff haha ... back then with all 20 and 40 gallons all over the room I would start maintenance in the morning and have to skip lunch and wouldn't be finished until just before dinner!... I don't have time for that anymore considering I don't even have that many days off from work to begin with

I used to go on BCA a lot too but not as much anymore since I'm only partially in the hobby... but I still hop on from time to time heh... my future plan is to get a 80-100g tank and probably have a Fahaka ... and then start up another 20g long for crayfish feeders ... but who knows when that will be ... maybe when I retire lol!

No stores have good quality ones. If you want them you should go on BCA and talk to the shrimp guys. In Surrey it would either be Shaobo or MananaP.

If you want a "store" Canadian Aquatics in Richmond is your best bet.

Crystal Shrimp are not easy to take care of if you don't know what you're doing too.

Oh ya? Everyone I've spoken to at local shops have told me shrimp are the easiest thing to put in a tank. Thanks for the heads up b/c the whole reason I was putting them in is because they're supposed to be low-maintenance.

What exactly does caring for crystal-shrimp entail?

wow, which LFS did you go to?

theres many types of shrimps, but for sure fish are much easier to care for than shrimps. they're really prone to ammonia

as for CRS they're almost like discus they need alot of care and Waterchanges

what you should do is start off with RCS, red cherry shrimps. then you can go on to PFR, painted fire red. which is just a Much deeper Red than the RCS.

after you think your good. start off with A grade CRS then move on to S grade or SS or even SSS. but if you have S and SS and they breed. you will have all kinds of different forms.

whats popular on the shrimp market is the BKK. black king kong. going at 60-300 a piece !
