manius s shrimp

Hi every one a lot of you know manius and some dont.

Been dealing with him the last say 2 months and even before i bought some shrimps off him he was only 2 happy to invite me over for a look at his shrimp farm and share his extensive knowledge of every element of shrimp keeping from the small st detail to the biggst detail.



His set up is quite mind blowing when i seen it first.never seen so many tanks dedicated just to shrimp(few snails to) when i first called into him he didnt know me but talked to me for about 2 hours teaching me about kh and gh (witch i never knew any thing about before talking to him) but if theres any one whos out there who deserves credit for his love of shrimp and how he strives to produce some top notch shrimp.


His tanks are clean his water is crystal clear.


Some of the quality of his shrimps are breath taking


Shrimp keeping is on a crash course in ireland and its people like manius who are figuire heading it and making people aware of the key steps into keeping shrimp healthy and reproduceing for you


So if any of yous get a chance to spend some time with manius or see his shrimp farm dont hesitate to do so



big shout out to a true shrimp expert.


Regards craig

I have to agree, a really decent Bloke.

Fair play for posting Craig, people like Manius deserve to get some credit. We have many people like this on the forum, only too willing to help out or to sit around and discuss fish and fish related things for hours (if they are anything like me, they probably find it nice that someone actually wants to hear them talk about fish rather than boring a non-keeper! My girlfriends eyes glaze over when I start excitedly talking about something new I have read! Lol) so its nice to see someone get credit it for it.

I do have visions of a queue of people around the block at his house looking to see the tanks now though!

He has a Bouncer,

HIS WIFE !!

OOOOoooooo the image of a bouncer is big and burly

Thanks Craig for being so nice
Please don't worry about bouncer coz she is not that bad as she looks (my wife:-)

I don't know what to say so maybe I just gonna say more about myself.
My name is Mariusz but you all know me as manius112.
I was big to planted tanks 5 years ago and was first person using ADA in this country. I had 3 tanks on this stage. Rio 120, 60l moss tank and nano cube.
I got sick and end up at hospital for 6 months. When I back home all plant and shrimps were dead. I had no money so I sold most of aquariums and equipment.
2 years ago I went to visit my old friend and he show me shrimps. I fell in love from then and Im just addicted to shrimps now:-)
Most of you saw my shrimp pictures on forum so I would like to share some pix of planted tanks back from 2008 and my nano tank I have in kitchen now.
I'm just ready now to back to aquascaping now so be prepared for more pix coming in
