PART 1 | POLL 7

SHRIMP TOURNAMENT!!!

(make sure to read info on both contenders before voting! some information may be hidden under "read more"!!)

GHOST SHRIMP (Palaemon paludosus)

AKA: glass shrimp, eastern grass shrimp

these spooky, ethereal little guys are known for their almost completely translucent bodies and ghostly appearances, thus the name! they're fittingly nocturnal, being experts at remaining hidden during the daytime and emerging like spectres when night falls. as there are generally more females than males out in the wild, male ghost shrimp have adapted to mating with several females at a time during mating season.

-

PEARL SHRIMP (Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis)

AKA: blue pearl shrimp (blue var.), white pearl shrimp/snowball shrimp (white var.)

these beauties boast vibrant hues of blue, white, and even some dark hints of crimson, too! first brought into the world in 2006 Germany, the scientific name was apparently unofficially changed to Neocaridina palmata in 2013 by a team of German researchers, but it seems like that name never stuck, so my dyslexia gets to suffer. anyways, these hardy little guys aren't picky in the slightest, will eat basically anything decaying, and adapt well to changing water conditions, making them a greatly appreciated species in the community!

Shrimp update (Shrupdate)

Hey y’all! So you may have noticed that I have been a little bit less active in the past few weeks. That’s because I’ve had a wonderful life event: the adoption of 15 lil shrimpies <33

After like a year and a half of having a lowkey (okay highkey) shrimp obsession, I finally have some to call my own 🥹 they’re ghost shrimp, which are some of the only shrimp that are legal to keep here. They are so very tiny and adorable! Here are some pictures:

I love them so much!! Admittedly I’m a bit of a helicopter parent with my (almost) daily water parameter testing and fussing over them. I wouldn’t let my girlfriend put a tiny pinecone in the tank because I didn’t want their tiny fragile little bodies to get stabbed by the points :((

It’s also been quite an experience seeing all the little snails and critters come out of the ancharis plants I got from my LFS. They’re welcome in the tank too as long as they don’t become pests to the impies. I will defend them with my FUCKING life.

Anyways that’s my shrupdate (shrimp update). I’m excited to post more pics of them and share my experiences!! yeah!! woo!

Today I learned there’s a bunch of interesting shrimp, and now I want them as Cookies

I’m just going to list some I found today. I’ve already talked about Pistol Shrimp, so I won’t talk about it here

Harlequin Shrimp:

Like where do these things start and end? I don’t know, but they look really cool. I heard they can also change color based on their mood. If you were to make them a Cookie, I’d say make them a clown, perhaps for a rival circus to the Big Top Circus (that was the name of Banana and Ice Juggler’s circus, right?)

Amano Shrimp:

Okay, so maybe they’re not the most interesting looking, and maybe also not the most interesting, but still. Though also I hear that they change color based on their diet? I dunno. But what I was looking at that I thought was interesting was that they’re apparently very active cleaners. I feel like you could make them a cleaner that’s also very particular about messes, and perhaps a bit of a germaphobe? Like, if they see a mess, they just have to clean it

Vampire Shrimp:

(They apparently come in multiple colors, so I just got a few different pictures of different colors)

I think what makes them most interesting is that despite their size (apparently they’re pretty big, at least for shrimp) and name, they’re apparently rather calm and non aggressive. Also they’re supposedly pretty shy and reclusive. Honestly, it kind of reminded me of Dark Choco Cookie, which is probably a big reason I like them. Also they’re very big and bulky, which makes them look kind of cute to me, I don’t know why. Also they only come out at night, which is probably another reason for their name

I don’t have much in terms of ideas for a Vampire Shrimp Cookie, other than people finding them scary at first, only to realize they’re really not. I just wanted to show you them (also I feel like using this for a Dark Choco/Lobster kid if I ever do one)

Ghost/Glass Shrimp:

I mostly just added them because it’s an easy “ghost Cookie” if you wanted to have one. Also they’re see through, which is cool

Bay Ghost Shrimp:

Apparently these shrimps are soft, or at least softer than other shrimp. Also they have asymmetrical claws, as you can see. They apparently spend a lot of time burrowing. I’m also running out of ideas for how to turn this into a Cookie, but I thought it was neat. I suppose it would be something pertaining to its digging abilities

I think I’m gonna stop here, but still, cool shrimp

Edit: oh, also, another one, Boxer Shrimp, also known as Banded Coral Shrimp, among other names

Apparently they use their claws to clean fish and remove things like algae and parasites from them to eat. Also they can sense fish with their antenna apparently. I’d say either go the obvious route of a boxer, or something to do with their cleaning thing, though I don’t know what. Perhaps some sort of doctor? Maybe just confined to other sea creatures?

Also Fairy Shrimp

I wasn’t able to find much on them, but they’re relatively large and slow and typically used as food. Also they like to swim upside down. They’d probably make for a more cute Cookie

You know, I find it kind of ironic how I’m now thinking shrimp are really cool, despite the fact that my dad is allergic to shrimp (and I’m not sure if I am), and my family just generally dislikes seafood

[scarbordoefair]

In case you guys remembered these guys, I finally put some up for sale! It’s a limited stock for now just to make sure I’ll be able to keep up with orders, but I’m excited to have everything all set up and ready to go!
