A warm invite to visit an overseas home breeder in Germany is really exciting. The thoughts of having to see the Number of tanks is like sending a kid into a candy store.

Turkish coffee with the newly acquired friends!

The boss catching shrimps! 

the wall of fame where overseas guest sign their name on the back of the door. Overall it has been a really good experience for me to learn from different breeders in various countries.

What i have learnt from them really is their hospitality that anywhere in the world you visit as long as you have the same hobby, it is easy to connect. We spent a full day discussing mostly shrimp stuff and how to be better. It is my honor to have met David and Kuzey, and to share the passion of shrimps half way round the globe is intriguing and exhilarating. Different products was used in their part of the world with local brands difficult for other country to enter due to EU regulations. They do have a special ‘fly’ liquid to mimic the female breeding hormone that make the males ‘fly’.

Additionally, their shrimps are kept in TDS at 160 and above which is very high considering that in Asia we keep them at 100-120 range. Overall a very good trip and will certainly meet them again if i am back in Germany.
