I was going to comment on another thread but didnt want to hijack or derail it with opinions.
My question is this ...with the increasing amounts of products finally being more readily available compared to a couple years ago it becomes confusing to the average or casual shrimper as to what is necessary.
I understand the need to provide the most stable and "perfect" environment for our babies especially when we are talking about shrimp that costs upwards of $50+ apiece.
What I'm curious about is the expense related to alot of these products really so beneficial to the average hobbyist? Is someone keeping rcs for instance going to see increased longevity, increased growth, better breeding, better survival rates, increased hardiness? Or are these products really designed for folks keeping the high end shrimp in order to increase survival rates and thereby allowing them to breed and sell?
Cause really whats the point of breeding and selling these super fantastic shrimp that the average hobbyist may fall in love with and splurge to buy only to lose them because they dont have the products and skills to keep them alive?
Sure its great for the seller (for a time) but is it really in the best interest of promoting the hobby?
I know this is probably a can of worms but would love to hear opinions
