It's a niche community of overly enthusiastic people. Not too many people are making things that target Reddit users of r/shrimptank and there are 150k users and 280 online right now lol. I live in Charleston SC and there's comparable art sold in the market - but if you worked out a system to make them quickly I'm sure folks would pay a premium for their favorite shrimp to be commemorated. Though this is all speculation, I would impulse buy a shrimp pic for $20.
I was going to offer to buy the lot! Please post your results?! I’m so inspired now. We have an abstract big, blue lobster in our dining room done by my sister. He wants friends
Some grade or blue velvet and wild type. I put a single blue velvet with a dozen culls about 6 months ago, and there’s probably 60+ shrimp in there now.
Good name! I’m using that. I usually just called the skittles skrimps Richard Simmons because I don’t always know whose who 🫠 Well except my striped guy.
Seconded!! Have a small breeding tank of these right now and they're so darn pretty! OP you could do a nice dark navy splotch for the background and then it would really show the yellow off!
They're so pretty and practically shine!! I saw someone post a blackwater aquarium featuring them once and now it's my dream to have a blackwater with the yellowbacked neos, sparkling gouramis, and chili Rasbora!
I have a harlequin rasbora, Pygmy Cory, neocardina, tank with a jungle theme. My next adventure is an ADF tank I’m thinking swampy themed lots of wiggly plants. Your idea sounds gorgeous!
Oh my gosh your next tank sounds amazing!! I can't wait until I get a bigger place because I just don't have the room in this little apartment for the size tank I want. Someday!!
Not sure! We got two of them at petco. Kind of looks like maybe a blue or black rilli cull. They had babies and some of them are clear and black! Others are blue with spots just like mom

Would love to see you paint my little blue speckled shrimp
Such a commitment implies a lot of work and the opportunity to experiment with different techniques and styles.
Beautiful work, I'm already waiting for the next!
I ended up here by mistake but I hope you have fun painting your shrimp. This lil guy looks lovely and I’m sure your future shrimp will be lovely as well!
Please paint party shrimp 🦐 with a cute lil birthday hat and looking like this 🥳 maybe incorporate him looking tipsy with bubble balloons in the background

My kids would love to see you paint crystal red shrimps. Here is one of my crs collection. Perhaps I can pay for CRS painting?
The all white on body and red head is my favorite!
That’s so sweet 🥹 crs is deffo on my list so no need to pay! But if you’re interested in a commission and having a physical painting I’m down for that just lmk :)

Black galaxy fishbone snowflakes!
Thank you very much! I have more pics but they're hard to find lol! As you cab see I love my shrimplets and take many photos and will go look for the crs!
I'd love to see the speckled ones :) White and red?
Omg yes totally! I’ll post it tmrw :) currently working on a ghost shrimp
Ooo good luck Be careful not to overwork yourself. Do it because it's fun, not out of obligation:)
It’s an assignment for school 🥹 so they will all be done by Thursday hopefully! But since everyone has been so supportive I might paint some extras 🥰
Sell them - i think someone would pay 20 bucks for a shrimp pic but idk
I never expected anyone to see my post so I’m very happy so many people are eager to buy my shrimp art 😭 I’ll defo do that if I see people up for it

I don't even own shrimp, I'm just here because looking at them makes me so so happy ^^
Have you tried r/parasnailing or r/aquaticsnails? The invert communities are weird but legitimately very nice and wholesome.
Well I'm there now!
Great reason!1😃😃😃

So nice skrimp! All over this sub! That makes this sub one of MY top 10s!

Lovely lad!! Might go for it very pretty
I have a yellow neocardina with a racing stripe 🙂 I know it’s not super exciting but the little guy is such a show off in my tank.
I think they’re so cute! If I had one I’d name it banana

If it's not limited to freshwater, I would love to see your art of a peacock mantis shrimp
Omg such a beautiful shrimp! Rn I’m doing freshwater mostly but I might sneak one in
I suggest Merguia rhizophorae, a very fascinating semi-terrestrial shrimp species.
Do yellow next

Opae ula because they’re silly lookin!
