It came as a great disappointment and shock to me when AQ announced that the indefinite BAN on buy/sell of shrimps.... I have always regarded AQ as home to anything to do with shrimps.
Why BAN shrimps only, and not all livestocks, I really don't know, but I am in no Authority to question AQ... I just want to find out from the rest, where else can I find sale of shrimps then?
Please advise. Thanks advance for sharing.
wow... must have miss out a lot. luckily just sold off my CRS last week but why such simple things can made till so complex? thought willing buyer willing seller?
anyway with such action, looks like we lost another good trading place. everything also must control. sigh... do share if there is another good place to trade, i want to know too.
I also feel doubt on it. Why ban shrimps only?Originally Posted by shearerkk

I read in one of the thread that there are some buyers who bought the shrimps from sellers and the shrimps are not the same grade as what the sellers claimed as. Maybe this is one of the cause?
didn't get to read it. that's why for me i will just provide the picture of the actual shrimps that i am selling to avoid such argument. maybe the moderators may want to consider controlling it in this manner, straight forward. you buying what you see. even myself also not good in grading, so i think my buyers do get better grades with my pricing, haha... well, just want everyone to be happy keeping them.
Then in future where can i buy shrimp? Lfs? Really a disappointment....hope AQ re-allows it back...

Let us be patient alright ... I believe this wouldnt be imposed for long... Else the majority that makes this forum will probably leave for another... The mods and admins do know this..

Hmm... wondering why AQ will be implicated when the deals between buyers and sellers turns sour?
AQ is just a platform for us to communicate for the trading right? In what way should AQ be responsible for the complaints from buyers on the seller's shrimps quality?
I don't understand...

Really hope the moderator will come out a better solution rather than just ban of shrimps sales. There are really some good home breeder in this forum which are selling quality shrimps as compare to LFS.
I agreed too! Through the shrimps sales, i get to meet many shrimps masters who shared alot of knowledge and guidance with me! And i can save alot buying good quality shrimps than paying alot for poor quality shrimps in the LFS.
Very very agreed on it too. Just met one of the master. He never sell shrimp to me but is "GIVE" them to me and teach me how to let them breed.

Wow Alvin... got such master around town... please introduce, maybe I can visit him to get advise and 'free' shrimps too!!!
Actually I want to purchase same bkk from him but my tank just cycle for 2 weeks ++. So he give me some low grade crs to try to let them breed. He advice me to let them breed before to add in bkk. Is a really good teacher. He also teaching me for make the moss well. Now my tank have 3 snow white and about 10pcs low grade crs, and 20pcs fire red + rili.

I think the ban is to allow the moderators a peace of mind while they think out to revamp the Marketplace's structure? Just speculating...
But for the time being, perhaps the enthusiasts will just approach known home-breeders directly for sale of shrimps? And since it is out of AQ's platform, it is outright willing buyer/happy seller? Deal at your own discretion. Guess rule of thumb for higher grades of shrimps such as PRL & KK, should always be to ask for actual shrimp pics in tank? And if the pics quality are not good enough, buy only from breeders who allow you to view the shrimps from their tank?
Just my 2 cents worth for die-hard fans of shrimps who have incurable itchy hands/fingers/pockets.

yeah, i think they BAN it because their are many buyers not happy with their shrimp such as coloration of shrimps and etc.BUT its not the seller fault, as Buyer should make sure their tanks are stable and all parameters are GOOD before buying. this will reduce the numbers of complaints!!! NOW, due to this, we can't meet other breeders and expand our shrimps to others in Singapore
When buyer wasnt happy with their purchase, this should be clarify on the spot like some mentioned many times, view before buying.
Therefore, i dont see why this AQ wants to Ban such sale!!
"quarrelsome and contentious nature" of the shrimp community, what's the meaning of shrimp community? The Mods have labeled we are making too many problems for the forum?
Oh my god, this is hilarious...
I would suggest AQ to create a sub category under marketplace just for shrimp or sale of more sensitive items. And warn buyer/seller to do their due diligence during the transaction and to transact at their own risk. No complaints will be entertain pertaining to sales transacted under that category or user will be BAN.
