Here are some freshwater shrimp from my 16 20-gallon aquariums. Enjoy!
The cream of the crop; this black Zebra Pinto on a sponge filter is a perfect example of its breed.
A red Zebra Pinto on a leaf; displaying its beautiful tail and body.
A dark Blue Bolt perching on some freshwater moss, selectively bred for dark colours.
A wonderful Crystal Black with a thick white and black carapace trundles along the sponge filter.
Thanks for viewing my article; vote accordingly! Don't forget to comment, resteem, and tell me your suggestions!
P.S. these shrimp are not for eating. They are for pure enjoyment. They are also very hard to keep; requiring specific pH, TDS, gH, and kH ranges, combined with a good ecosystem of bacteria and enzymes.

How much is it to buy one? How easy is it to breed these critters?

These are, well, the top of the game. Over 2 and a half years I have learned how to breed them. The top ones I'm still breeding to a number, but I have some lower tier shrimp ready for purchase. The ones in the article are our best shrimp, they cost around 60 US for a nice one, but I'm not selling them yet. My Blue Bolts, around 30 US per shrimp, are the bluest in North America. I also have imported Crystal Red shrimp from Germany. Those cost around the same as the Blue Bolts. For the shrimp, a properly set up aquarium is a MUST. Anything that is a slight deviation will kill them. High gH? Dead. Low gH? Dead. High pH? Dead. Super low pH? Also dead. They need a proper setup with no other fish [the fish will eat them] or shrimp, unless you want to crossbreed [which I wouldn't recommend, because my shrimp are purebred]. They also need good plant life, with a pH regulating gravel [I'd recommend Fluval substrate]. If you're a beginner, I'd say start with Cherry Shrimp, they're quite cheap, so you can replenish stocks when they die [every new shrimper has deaths]. If you are interested in buying my products, check my website out: http://www.shrimptopia.ca/
Remember to not make any drastic changes in water, otherwise the shrimp will die. You will also need a plethora of water additives to simulate their natural habitat, all of which we sell. You will also need to cycle the tank, essentially leaving the tank be [while putting in the required water additives], stimulating good bacteria that the shrimp need to survive. Contact us if you need help/our products.
