Crystal red shrimp can go for upwards of $200 EACH if they have good coloration (see pic). I think grade A go for about $20 each though. But you can keep the best looking ones for breeding and separate the worse ones and over a few generations you will have a small colony of SS shrimp.
I don't have any but will be getting some soon, don't care if I don't make much money because it's fun.

Motherfucking bees, m8erinos. My grandfather was a beekeeper and although I didn't know him, my father told me that the biggest mistake in his life was that his widow sold all his bees when he died and my dad let it happen. He said bees are extremely low-maintenance, and the market being how it is there won't be any oversupply of them (especially now that sugar is considered the devil, quite rightfully so).

Some fag yelled bees in the last thread like this before it died, thought I'd add my opinion on it as well.

Don't focus on profit at first anon.

You could get a 10 gallon tank for like $30-50. Lights maybe $20. Plants, $10. Filter and heater, maybe $20. Substrate, you want a bag of some good shit like ADA Amazonia, great for shrimp and plant roots. The shrimp themselves are pretty cheap, but it depends on the quality and species. $200 would get you a neat setup

They will die at different times and will breed easily if you keep good water conditions (need to change 20% of water once a week). I recommend starting with red cherry shrimp because theyr'e very easy to care for and cheap but look really cool still. Once you're confident move on to Crystal Red Shrimp and try selectively breeding them until you reach a good grade then start selling.
