Tell us a little bit about yourself, please:
My name is Gregory, shrimp farming is already occupied about 8 years. I began with two tanks, at this moment there are already 63 We are planning further because there is no space for new shrimp and a new hybrid. Currently, we also seek to deepen our knowledge about crayfish Cambarellus that were found in our kennel.
When did you start keeping and breeding shrimps?
The first shrimp came with us about 8 years ago, they were in an aquarium shrimp Macrobachium friendly. After about a year we get the first dwarf shrimp which we tried to reproduce. The first, which were born in our kennel were Red cherry and Tigers.
What are your basic tips for beginners?
Be patient and don’t forget about water changing
Which mistakes are made often and easy to avoid?
Primarily to take care of the water parameters, do not cause the undesirable crosses.
How much time do you spent with your tanks weekly?
I try to spend every free moment with shrimp but I do not always succeed, taking into account the fact that my little daughter, with whom every moment is priceless.
What is your favorite shrimp?
I love them all but I think that my favourite is King Kong.
What makes the polish shrimp community different from others?
I think that shrimp community does not differ from those in Germany or other countries. The only difference is that we’re a little behind when it comes to new varieties in comparison to shrimp lovers in Germany.
You are running a local forum: What are the ups and downs?
I noticed that a lot of people are afraid to boast of new shrimp because they fear the envy of others. I am glad to see more interesting projects of people who want to create polish shrimp scene. I think that will be more such people that it will easier in Poland for fun shrimp.
What do you think of an international shrimp club?
I think it is an interesting project that will allow us to harmonize standards. I think that this will also speed the introduction of new varieties in the countries that belong to the club because it will be much easier than the search for new varieties on their own. International shrimp club will also be a great opportunity for regular meetings of members.
