When I just started I got $15 fancy tigers from a local fish store but they are imported from Taiwan. They never did well, and didn’t take off like I wanted. Now looking back they are probably just their fancy tiger culls and they sell to the lfs for cheap
that's a great story, it happens, u get what u pay for most of the time to be honest. but some people don't care about minor details like spider legs and 'culls' could work in people's favor, thanks for taking time to reply and comment! happy shrimp keeping!
that's true but sometimes, importing is the only way to get a colour or pattern. well it's good to keep these things in mind. tanks for the support and kind comments!
@@RWAquariumPages yes true. But its always good to get it from breeder as they have worked on their shrimps long enough to know gen and etc. Both are essential in the hobby, just depends on the person purchase does he need quality or quanitity
Great topic taken into depth. Keep going and thanks for sharing.
thanks for your kind words and reply. i really enjoy your channel! i wish everyone success in their shrimp keeping journey and let's grow this hobby!
CAn you make a grading video? for beginneers who are just entering the caridina world
That's a great suggestion! Thanks for this
I can’t find a local caradina breeder in Colorado so I have to rely on imports and just hope they survive . Thanks for the great video
Wishing you the best and success. Imports do work, just got to be selective of them, try not to go for thr cheapest. Thx for the support
Hell I’m in Delaware and they don’t even have them here. They’re just not common given the extra care they need

Trust me I still buy people’s “culls” to this day, shrimp keeping is expensive! Haha cheers
@@SDShrimp for sure. I totally get it
I could not agree more with the inconsistency of import shrimps. I have had expereince where 80 percent of my shrimplets ended up in the cull tank
