Shrimping

Actually went to the fish store to look at some shrimp IRL.

Guy tells me, "Oh those little colorful guys? Yeah we're sold out."

> mind starts racing.

Scarcity.

Fuck off user, shrimpings not for you

Ever seen that show worlds deadliest catch
We're talking 300-400k per year

aquariuminfo.org/crs.html
Crystal red shrimp can go for upwards of $200 EACH if they have good coloration (see pic). I think grade A go for about $20 each though. But you can keep the best looking ones for breeding and separate the worse ones and over a few generations you will have a small colony of SS shrimp.
I don't have any but will be getting some soon, don't care if I don't make much money because it's fun.

ive been thinking about getting some fish myself after that shrimp farming thread. i dont know why but it just seems so comfy.

Sounds like you just found yourself a buyer, OP.

Those are crabs lol

can't be because your sister has crabs and she struggles to make $16k a year

You're being silly.

XD

Listen biz of you fuck up the shrimping game I'm going to fucking kill you all

Motherfucking bees, m8erinos. My grandfather was a beekeeper and although I didn't know him, my father told me that the biggest mistake in his life was that his widow sold all his bees when he died and my dad let it happen. He said bees are extremely low-maintenance, and the market being how it is there won't be any oversupply of them (especially now that sugar is considered the devil, quite rightfully so).

Some fag yelled bees in the last thread like this before it died, thought I'd add my opinion on it as well.

I've heard bees make a lot too, thing is they take a lot of space that needs to be dedicated to them

Why not compromise and get some bee shrimp

Go back to reppit :DD

>sugar is the devil
>honey is okay

>processed, bleached diarrhea
>nectar of the gods

I don't see your point.

>biz actually creating an economic good
Nah fuck off saged and reported this has got to be some prank

Honey has 20% less fructose and 40% less glocose.
easier to digest, less insulin spike

doesn't matter how processed it is, a gram of sugar still has the same calories and hormonal effects wether it's from honey or sugar cane

STOP DERAILING OUR SHRIMP THREAD REEEEEE

>>>you can keep the best looking ones for breeding
You mean EATING

Im making an initial investment of about $600 get 4 25 gallons tanks, how long till I'm in profit?

Don't focus on profit at first user. The whole shrimp market is going to go parabolic so you want to focus on building a customer base first, otherwise there will be 1000 shrimp farmers competing with you. You want to be the dominant shrimp farmer in your region. Once you are, then you start making a profit.

so is this shrimp farm thing not actually a meme?? who here actually makes a profit off these things? what do they go for?

There is an unlimited supply in shrimps it's not worth it

Brimps? Or Shrees?

Historically, people have consumed honey for way longer than sugar.

Chill man, there's enough space for all of us with side hustles like this on Jow Forums. I fully endorse threads like these, I'd love it if there were more.

Honestly, I think it's a full blown meme because I see the same copypastas everywhere and that makes me vary. Also, who the fuck would pay 2-5$ per shrim, jesus. But hey, i don't know shit about shrimps, so whatever floats your boat.

Guys, can you use these shrimpies of aquaponics? What do you feed them? Are there organic and diy feeding options?

I'm starting to get literal shrimpfever with all these threads

lulz, this meme is terrible

>thing is they take a lot of space

user... I've got some great news for ya. In poor countries like Brazil, they have GHETTO BEES. I shit you not, there exist smaller, biteless bees that can thrive in urban environments and create honey

Wiki stingless bees and here's a researchgate link

Wow, wtf.

mfw highest value shrimp is called SS s

I'm seriously looking forward to make a shrimp tank, as a hobby, how much does it cost to make a small one, is 500$ enough?

You could get a 10 gallon tank for like $30-50. Lights maybe $20. Plants, $10. Filter and heater, maybe $20. Substrate, you want a bag of some good shit like ADA Amazonia, great for shrimp and plant roots. The shrimp themselves are pretty cheap, but it depends on the quality and species. $200 would get you a neat setup

Is being a plumber helpful when you start shrimping?

I'm not even sure anymore if this is truly a well constructed meme or legit a smart business idea. Holy shit biz I'm glad this is not crypto related because I could get justd

nice one
What about their life circle? What do you do when they're all dead?

Same, I legitimately can't fucking tell either way. Gl to all shrimpers tho.

I have good ties with the mafia so I'm not worried about that

They will die at different times and will breed easily if you keep good water conditions (need to change 20% of water once a week). I recommend starting with red cherry shrimp because theyr'e very easy to care for and cheap but look really cool still. Once you're confident move on to Crystal Red Shrimp and try selectively breeding them until you reach a good grade then start selling.

hornets will wipe them out even faster, great.

You only feed them twice a week for like 5 cents that's why this is such a meme

Would Pule cheese be a better investment?

>>Serbian Donkeys are rare
Prices goes up
>>Golfer fag owns world supply
A literal cucked kingpin

Biz this is the gold mine.

I'm starting to come round to the idea of investing in shrimp.

But are they harder to maintain when they grow into lobsters?

Attached: Robin Hood.jpg (474x675, 59K)

Apart from there no market for cheese

holy fuck

user please your lowering the tone of the thread

If you have iron shrimping hands there are mad gains to be made when they go full lobster. Its just if you can hodl em long enough desu.

they're so small aren't they going to explode the cage when they grow up?
very pretty tho

I did my master thesis on shrimp farming, not even joking

Crs shrimp Market is saturated. You'll be lucky to sell pure breed sss Crs for above $10 each. If you want real money in shrimping, make your own strains from tigers and bees.

Pic related. My Red wines, blue bolts, and a cherry.

No, crystals only grow 1,5 inches the most. That's why they are so appealing for aquarists.

nah you can keep 10 shrimp per gallon at least. They stay very small.

not mine lol

where do you actually sell them in aus?

This started as a meme, but raising shrimp looks super comfy. Seriously considering it once I get a new place.

Which is the best edible freshwater shrimp?

Hornets are similarily sized to normal bees so they can fit in their hives. They can't fit on biteless bees' hives cause the biteless bees are way smaller.

That's not even an issue

I would probably be emotionally attached to them after a few weeks and couldn't bring myself to sell them.

What's to stop someone from just painting it white?

Nothing apart from the fact you would kill it and it would massively impractical and only temporary

Well what if you used like the bodypaint stuff they use on negros

Don't you need a license to sell food thats gonna be eaten? You know health regulation and stuff

The shrimp will ahead it's exoskeleton
