Yes, earned back setup cost only
Yes, making profits
No, still in the red
No idea, never keep track
I think for most of us, is the challenge of keeping CRS and breedinf them and see it grow that keep us going and making extra dollar out of it is a bonus. I have lost countless of blue notes due to careless during water change and some stupid things I did, I persist and hope that I can success in multiplying them.
haha i think i sell shrimps and plants occasionally more for the sake of off-setting the costs of the hobby than to profit..
May I ask where do you all sell your shrimps to?
In the market place in this forum

most ppl keep shrimps as a hobby and seldom will they earn much profits from it.
Keeping 2 tanks of shrimps. One tank with chiller for CRS and the other with basic setup for RCS.
Only been able to earn enough from selling RCS to cover electric bills. Never enough to cover my setup cost of buying the soil, shrimps, chiller and cannister filter.... sighhh.....
But recently doing not too bad from selling my anetome helenas but still haven't cover setup.... Spent too much on initial cost already....
today went down to LFS to get mine setup items for mine new CRS tank
Burn a big hole in mine pocket. Plus i still have not get a PH pen and
the Ammonia , nitrate and N nitrite kits
for mi i think same as Samuel Lee mention as long as mine CRS breed
i'm quite happy.
damn! i'm giving my CRS free to my friends! hahaha
somehow i think i'm saving money..

I will keep it as a hobby, rather than a profit making business
More for a hobby for me ,not an investment or making money out of it unless i really have excess
It is healthy to sell shrimps to recover the cost or made slight profit. So that such hobby will eventually be less costly than it seems because the shrimps have rewarded its owner for keeping them happy in the tank. Win-Win situation for hobbyist and shrimps. People who sell shrimps are also keeping the price low & economical for newbies who wanted to start a shrimp tank but find LFS a little expensive.
I am planning to sell a small bags of my snowball shrimplets and use the money to upgrade to slightly bigger tank (1.5 feet) so that the mother snowballs feels more comfortable in bigger tank to produce even more babies and I can also enjoy the deeper poison of having a bigger tank.
In this kind of economy, can make money make lah. It is not illegal and nothing to be ashamed about
ai yah , when you start rearing shrimp, u will not look back. It is indeed a stress relieve hobby, just by looking at these lovely creature, all your work problem goes away. Money is important, but nothing more important than a healthy state of mind.
C'mon show more of your setup !!! i love this forum
Haha, you can call that a hobby if you off load your excess for free. But if you start to sell, buyer may complain on your stuffs if it is not up to his/her standard no doubt you are very confident that yours are quality stuffs. Standards of individual are difference. It is a hobby, why should we endup with unhappiness. For me, I prefer to give it for free unless I need to do door step delivery.
i rear shrimp for the fun even thou i am losing money
