It puts all the information you need at your fingertips, giving you the tools to create any kind of shrimp tank and troubleshoot problems with clarity and confidence — even if you've spent hours scrolling forums or watching videos only to still lose a colony to a parameter crash you didn't see coming. With over 300 pages and 150+ scientific citations, you'll discover surprising facts, clear explanations, and practical tips you won't find anywhere else. The page count may sound daunting but don’t worry - it’s all Shrimply Explained so you’ll actually enjoy reading every page! Check out some of the reviews from our readers: "I was new to shrimps and was interested in cherry shrimp/neos only. This book gave a good detailed description of all the need-to-knows and then some more! I didn’t know there was so much to be aware of, particularly the water parameters. Needless to say I took notes regarding this and have had success with a growing population. The thing I like is that I can quickly look back at the extras that didn’t make sense until I actually encountered them. For example, dealing with molting problems and sick shrimp." u/fateoflight (reddit) "Understanding why things work is essential to successful shrimp keeping and if you only have one book in your collection, this is it. This superb guide explains the science behind keeping freshwater dwarf shrimp, specifically Neocaridina and Caridina species. The aspiring invertebrate keeper can make informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork at any level of experience. It connects good aquarium discipline, water changes, feeding and biology through to chemistry at an understandable level. You will gain knowledge on ecosystem dynamics and improve shrimp health, breeding success, and tank stability." -Ian F. "Whether you are entirely new to the hobby altogether, or (like myself) are moving specifically into shrimp after years in the general aquarium hobby, The Science of Shrimp Keeping is a must-have. Despite teeming with scientific references and terminology, the book is written in a very approachable and newcomer friendly manner. Clever arguments are made where information is simply still an unknown by extrapolating from related studies, leading to guidance and advice that is grounded and logical. Being an ebook, updates are available as husbandry information grows and changes - making the book a ‘shrimply’ must have!" - u/Witchslap (reddit) "Thanks for making this book, it's definitely about to be my bible. I started reading it and I'm hooked. It's not only super informative, but very entertaining as well. “There's info you can't find elsewhere” seemed like a marketing claim but in the first few chapters you've already eliminated some doubt about stuff I already spent a good deal of time researching. As a side note, a lot of the info in there is actually helpful for keeping aquariums overall, especially the bits on ecosystems and water parameters." -u/rinaga (reddit)
