Super Crystal Red Grading

Super Crystal Red Grading

Super Crystal Red Shrimp are probably my longest living colony of shrimp. I started with CRS, then these, then PRL. I think my SCR colony is about 10 years old, I’m also lucky in the fact that I have several different lines, including the original, highly coveted ‘Cologne Line’.

I Was Always An Ass Man Until I Saw The Legs On a Pure Red Line

Pure Red Line are my absolute favourite and I was really lucky to start with some good stock when I began breeding them.

My Appearance In Breeders & Keepers Magazine

My Appearance In Breeders & Keepers Magazine

Back in 2013 i was approached by Chris Lukhaup to appear in Breeders & Keepers magazine. At the time the UK ‘shrimp scene’ was still growing, there was a hardcore group of us with some years of experience but the hobby as a whole was still in its infancy. I was always keen to promote the hobby within the UK so I was honoured to fly the flag when Chris asked me.

That One Time I Cheated On My Reds Trying To Cure Blindness

That One Time I Cheated On My Reds Trying To Cure Blindness

Ok, so I’ve cheated a few times….

I used to have much more space and many more tanks, I had well over 20 varieties of shrimp at one point. I had so many tanks I was keeping certain varieties just to have them, not because I liked them.

Improving The Survival Rate of Baby Shrimp

Improving The Survival Rate of Baby Shrimp

At the start of my shrimp ‘career’ baby survival rate was probably my biggest issue, if I was lucky I would get maybe 10 babies survive from each berried female.

Selective Breeding Shrimp With Limited Space

Selective Breeding Shrimp With Limited Space

My shrimp ‘career’ has changed a lot over the years. I started with a single tank with CRS. I then got the bug and built a small rack with four 100l aquariums. By mid 2010 I had 80 120l tanks and was importing close to 100,000 shrimp a month. If you bought any shrimp from Maidenhead Aquatics during that time then there is a high possibility that they came from me.
