Introduction

Hi Friends, I am Tirtha from Gurgaon, India. I am a planted Tank Hobbyist. After seeing shrimps pictures all over the net, I was also dreaming about these little creatures for a long time. And finally after a long wait, just before 2 days, I got my first batch of Red Cherry Shrimps.

The moment I received them, I just got hooked to these beauties. And planning to setup couple of shrimps only tanks. I will try keeping and breeding Native Indian Shrimps in near future. Don't know how much success I will get but for sure I will give it a try.
Wish me Luck! :)
