Apologies for the poor pics.

Is it your camera got problem with red color hence the shrimp look pale ?

What is the size of the black shadow ? To me it seem quite small and usually small size shrimp will show much more intense color but only good gene shrimp will still retain good color when they reach adulthood. So for baby shrimp it's difficult to tell whether the shrimp is of good grade.

Gucci,

Goodness gracious. You might really need abit of help understanding what each sub-forum here is for. Its ok, i'll help you understand.

Near the top of this page, can you see Events, field trips and gatherings?

Good. Now read the sentence next to it. It goes "Get or post details of gatherings, workshops, exhibitions, competitions, field trips, etc. here." right?

So what does this sentence imply? I, marle, am an individual hobbyist who went for jojoe's open house right? So, i saw some beautiful shrimps and decided to take pictures and post some details of the event here.

Hope this helps you in comprehending.

As to what Kendrick86 said, i fully agree with what he had mentioned in his post #67 and what i have mentioned above should answer to most of your questions posted to him.

You probably have seen pictures of very wonderful invertebrates, but ultimately pictures are still pictures, you can never really fully appreciate its beauty unless you have seen it live. Id recommend you to seize this opportunity and go to jojoe's openhouse. Its very nice of him to do that, spending time to do so. Not many of us hobbyists actually spend this kind of time to share what we have got.

Good luck.

Spinex,

Whether my camera is good or not, or whether the red is good or not blah blah, this is extremely subjective and i believe its best if you can also go to jojoe's open house and view the shrimps for yourself and judge if you want to.

But i can tell you, the shrimps are beautiful and you'll definitely find the trip worthwhile.

Cheers.

What sianzation said is correct. Why should they post details of their meetups, when it is just an informal chat. The thing about these meetings is that it is for like-minded hobbyists to meet up and discuss things, in this case on shrimps.

If they posted all the details online, then nobody needs to turn up right? Because all the details is open to everyone. Then what's the use of having an open house if all the info is online and nobody actually turns up except jojoe?

Hey bro jojoe,

Really appreciate your sharing session yesterday and I must say I've learnt alot from you as well as the rest that were there. Opened up my eyes to many things that I've never come across before.

Should have did a real freshwater sump for mine too!

Oh wells, perhaps in my next setup. Hahaha!

Please guys, chill out! A forum is for us to exchange hobby ideas and experience, not for peoples to make a big fuss out of nothing.

Jojoe, thumbs up for your effort to bring more people into understanding this hobby.

Haha its people like gucci that makes people unwilling to share, cause the questions asked are irrelavant and can be found easily, instead of just asking repeated questions he should do a search. He doesnt get the point that people like him are not welcomed, sure its a forum, but people do not have to answer every dumb question just because he is a forum member! haha why sump tank easier to clean! Quoted GUCCI its like asking why people pass motion in toilet bowl, just do it as a grass patch! no hard feelings yeah GUCCI, just needed an example.

How do you clean your sump filter?
Thanks bro jj

Kendrick why marle can post pictures?
i thought no posting?
isnt this thread supposed to be just for gathering?
now why can he post pictures?
Sorry marle , should we heel bro kendrick advice to go via PM?

Nevertheless, some people has not seen such shrimps before and deemed them as rare.
I have seen rarer wine red ad kingkongs in this forum bred by local hobbyists, members can get to see them if they do a search.

Sorry had to quote this in case people dont know which post i was refering to. As seen above, why need to clean the filter and how to clean sump tank! ;ie why need to use toilet bowl, and if i use it how to flush?

just an analogy cause you were talking about waste, so i put in human aspect, hope its easy to understand. and regarding your questions, do a search on the forum. thanks

Hey jojoe, great gesture to promote shrimp keeping. Seems like those who went had an eventful trip. Would love to see more pictures of your setups, scapes and shrimps to go along with this thread so that others can see the collections too.

Will clean up some meaningless post in this thread and guys, watch the SMS language.

This section is used for posting of gatherings, events or field trips and not for discussion. The next person who insist especially Gucci will get infraction.

For queries on your shrimps, dog problems, please either use the invertebrates section or if you want, private message the threadstarter.

I have also edited the title, because there are more open house which makes the previous one sound kind of out of place.

If you have any constructive things you like to share about Jojoe's open house, by a means, share with the members.

(Gentle reminder again, please refrain from using SMS lingo in AQ)
