5 stars. Excellent book
As breeder for other marines species I've to say this book is an absolute must. The author answer many questions for those maintaining happy (=reproducing) shrimps. Its really practical, giving straight answers. Thanks April for this excellent and fun job.

5 stars. Great Book on beginning aquaculture
This is a great introduction to raising peppermint shrimp and aquaculture in general. The book is written in a light hearted and enjoyable way. It doesn't take itself, the topic or the reader too seriously.

br /This is the kind of book that beginning/armature aqua-culturists need. More over, we need a series of books written from this paradigm, the point of view and method of presentation, that can take us to the point of raising and trading fish and inverts with each other instead of having to purchase them.

br /If you have any interest in getting your shrimp to reproduce, this is the book to get you stared. I have been 'fragging' zooanthids and some ricordia coral, but this is a challenge that far exceeds my current activities. I will be giving this a go in the near future and I look forward to the challenge.

A great book! The book has been written in such a fun manner that it would have been great to read even if I wasn't thinking of raising my own peppermints!

br /It is also full of useful information, more aquarist books should be written like this! :)

5 stars. One of a kind, a pleasure to read
Well and thoroughly written with an excellent, humorous style. Ms. Kirkendoll provides detailed well researched steps to selecting, breeding and rearing peppermint shrimp, as well as other varieties of cleaner shrimp. Ms.Kirkendoll obviously has a tremendous amount of personal experience, and selflessly reveals details and secrets of breeding, with plenty of DIY ideas. More books like this are needed in the trade.
