are there shrimp shows, like fish shows?

[Soothing Shrimp]

I know that there are fish shows where you can mail in fish and get ribbons if best in show, etc.

Are there shrimp shows as well?

If so, does anyone have any info on them?

[imke_j]

Yes, there have been several shows and some are still upcoming, like

Osaka/Japan, Oct. 2011 (shrimp-contest.com)
Naples/Italy, Sept. 2011
Belgium, 2012
Hanover/Germany, 2012
Taipeh/Taiwan, Sept. 2011 (by coolshrimp.com)

Use google for more information :)

Thank you imke! Don't know if I'd ever come close to winning anything, but it sure would be fun to try. :)

None in the USA, I think closest to Illinois would be Japan or Germany

I don't get it. Am I right in thinking with CRS you are trying to breed for as much white as possible, with a little lightning bolt of red? Because the minute you get all white it goes down in value? Am I correct? I'm so confused...
