When talking about shrimp keeping, most people talk about breeding shrimps too. But in fact, simple reproduction is not breeding. Breeding means to select offspring to meet criteria for better genes. This also means to reject a great number of shrimplets  which don’t meet the breeding target. A serious breeder will not sell shrimps he rejected; this is an unwritten code of honour. Otherwise, the market is overstock with low quality shrimps.

Fortunately I have had the opportunity to learn English in school. It was not my best class neither my favorite but these days I am happy about every snatch of conversation I can do in English. As a blogger and moderator in shrimpnow.com I have daily practice and try to improve my language skills whenever possible. Most people I am talking to are ashamed of talking English because they think they talk clumsy or incomprehensible. They forget about the best: The main point is that English gives you the opportunity to exchange ideas, beliefs, know-how and experiences. And this plus is not limited to shrimp keeping. Dwarf shrimp have fans around the world: One should not think that sticking to his own country or language brings our hobby forward. But lately, there is an unpleasant vanity in German forums: to think that German shrimp breeders will be in pole position soon. Germany = ‘Black Tiger Land’; how priggish! They will be brought back down to earth soon. Let’s wait and see who will be smart ass in the end.
