This is an excellent book. I have quite a few books about reef keeping, corals, and salt water aquariums. However this is among my top favorites. The author answered all the questions I had and did it in a way that was FUN. She is funny and conveys the information in an extremely enjoyable manner. Most books in this field are packed with so much extra information in an effort to be thorough that the simple answers you seek are buried in the proverbial haystack. In reading this book I felt like I was getting straight answers from a friend as opposed to taking Marine Biology 401. I wish the author had more books ! Thanks April for the fantastic book ! This book is worth every penny if you have an interest in raising Peppermint or other types of shrimp !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

I found this book to be easy to read, helpful, and practical regarding many specific details about peppermint shrimp, and especially how to raise the larval young.

This completely useful guide includes everything about Peppermints, bonus the other invertebrates from a really experienced mentor.

The inscriptions are so smooth that you could finish the book at once and read all over again...

I bought this book years ago before it was available on Amazon. So glad to see it's here now and people like it as much as I do. For a very scientific subject, it's a amazingly easy to read, humorous and informative. Now I only wish the people who write books on breeding goldfish could do as well! Thank you, April Kirkendoll!

Awesome and very informative book. Definitely recommend this book if you want to do any raising of shrimp.

I found this book fun and informative. Considering its low cost, if you're keen on owning or learning about shrimp (as opposed to eating them!) then there is no reason not to buy this book :)
