Who would have thought that there are almost 30 species of shrimps? Ever heard of Black Tiger shrimp? Ninja shrimp? How about the Bamboo shrimp? Well, I sure didn't know anything about those species. This book, Shrimp Aquarium is indeed the all-in-one guide that every aqua enthusiasts must know in order to have a successful freshwater shrimp aquarium.Yes, not many people are aware of the fact that you can actually take care and breed shrimps right inside your doorstep. My mom actually have a pond full of shrimps at the countryside, which she grows and sells to the market. She never entertained the thought of putting those little shrimps in an aquarium. Now with thus helpful book from Gordon Monock, mom and I learned a lot about shrimps and how to go about breeding them.The book is divided into several parts, which include:* selecting the best freshwater shrimps* setting the aquarium* purchasing the ideal shrimps as well as their tank mates* feeding / breeding the shrimps and maintaining the aquarium* the precautions or things to avoid when selecting / breeding shrimpsplus more!The above mentioned topics along with other important notes are what most aqua hobbyists need to know and remember. Thank you Gordon Monock for coming up with this informative venture.  Now, thanks to you, I can buy an aquarium for my kids so we can all start taking care of shrimps as pets. One thing I learned from the vast info I read: that fresh water shrimp is an excellent way to keep your fish tank healthy and clean.
