mayphly Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I didn't get anything related to shrimping for Christmas except for the pintos that I bought for myself. That doesn't really count. So, I was wondering if anyone received or gave something related to shrimp for Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesseter Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I ended up having to give up my shrimp funds cause the wife went overboard on gifts for my son. That's okay my New Year's resolution is to get more shrimp. LOL!! Hurry up tax return!

Crazyfishlady Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Nope - they think my new shrimp addiction is slightly odd... lol My older son came home for the holidays, looked at my 10 gallon snowball tank and said "Where are the fish?" When I told him that there are no fish, the tank is only for the shrimp... he looked at his brother and then changed the subject. ha ha RyeGuy411, Soothing Shrimp, littlebirdie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadenlea Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I got the same reaction as Crazyfishlady. We have a huge xmas eve gathering ... Person after person looked in the tank and said how beautiful it was and "Where are the fish" ? They lost interest when I told them there werent any. (except the ottocats) But in my stocking I got Blue diamond, alder cones and some food samples. Yes Im in my 40s but my family still does stockings lol. The adults all pick names and do a stocking for the person they pick. littlebirdie, aquariumlover10, mayphly and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Yeah...the fam wouldn't get me shrimp stuff. But I did get some cash which I put towards a Nikon D5200 which was on sale today. Pretty shrimp pics to come! mayphly, aquariumlover10 and Crazyfishlady 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycat929 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 My husband doesn't encourage or discourage my shrimping. He merely says that I will buy for myself what I want anyway, so why bother buying it for me. Instead, we got each other fishing gear since it is our mutual hobby.

Elo500 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I had the same reaction to my shrimp tanks. At Christmas dinner they asked what was in them. When I said shrimp, they responded "to eat?" woopderson, Crazyfishlady and Jadenlea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I had the same reaction to my shrimp tanks. At Christmas dinner they asked what was in them. When I said shrimp, they responded "to eat?" At first I dismissed those sorts of comments, after months and months I becoming more and more annoyed when people ask that or "how big do they have to get before you can eat them". woopderson, Jadenlea and Elo500 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 No shrimp stuff here. I get to declare anything shrimp related I do though as "for the business" so I give myself gifts throughout the year Roborep1, Elo500, littlebirdie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 ha ha - we should start a 'what shrimp people are tired of hearing' thread. Glad to know it isn't just me. My coworkers also give me 'the look' when I pull out my phone and say 'I have to show you guys this pic of my shrimp I took'. ha ha Another reason I am glad I found this forum... you all understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 It was because of the stupid comments that I took tanks out of my office got tired of it. RyeGuy411 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 most people think aquarists are weird Regardless if they only keep shrimp, or if they keep everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 My family are actually much more stumped by my frog than any of my tanks. "But ... where is it? Does it DO anything? Why do you have one again?" I have credit at my two favorite stores waiting for when I can restock now. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 the camera on my phone is awesome, its not like a Nikon with a $300 macro lens, but man its better then my moms camera, I can even take pics of the baby shrimp CB sent me, here's the one I took. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
