Ok. This will be the final post for Acro Al for at least 6 months!
Now that Facebook has hooked everyone, it deliberately withholds random posts from reaching people, to encourage payment for more reach. But, instead of bowing down, I will opt out. I guess you have to ask, why post something that doesnt reach people anyway?
This led to the revelation that social media is a huge waste of time. If anyone is interested in my current and future shrimp breeding efforts, you can contact me personally on messenger by searching for "Perth Marine"
Thanks for your support and lets leave you with a few awesome photos. Happy new year!

STRIPEY’S ARE NOT REEF SAFE!
A mere 12 hours in the tank and already started his shift eating corals. Perfect way of ridding your tank of your prized corals at the same time as any Aptasia. Tell your friends.

Lysmata amboinensis in culture.

This species is surprisingly difficult and I am yet to culture even one shrimp through to metamorphosis.
Will keep trying, breakthroughs will come but it will likely be a year or two away.

“My aquacultured shrimp will be available exclusively from Monsoon Aquatics in the Eastern states and Northern Territory.

Today, 100 x of my Lysmata dispar have arrived at Monsoon Aquatics Cairns facility. These shrimp, unique to WA have a voracious appetite for Aptasia and stinging hydroids/flatworm. If you own an aquarium store, get your order in now along with their range of other amazing products!

Solitary Hydroids, Aptasia, or stinging Medusa giving you the reef blues? No problem!
My Lysmata dispar have done their floating around for 6 weeks and now are ready to take care of that stuff for you. It’s turning into a promising aquaculture species. Watch the vid, the hydroids are on the wall.
