Are they seriously called shrimplings? That's adorable and kind of delicious sounding

I've seen both shrimplet and shrimpling. I think shrimpling sounds best!

If an overmind like intelligence ever organized the insects, human dominion would be in peril.

So do you eat these?

You can, but they only grow about an inch. So probably only good as seasoning? And they typically sell for at least $4 each. Expensive food!

What kinda shrimps are those?I've tried to breed cherry reds but they just never wanted to make any babies. I think my water was too hard

These are the Blue Velvet strain of Neocaridina Davidi. Same species as cherry reds, but a different coloring.

Not breeding could be due to a number of things. These at the same breed as cherry reds. Name slips my mind currently.
