Although newly introduced to Vietnam, the seven-color shrimp is quite popular and widely kept by many Hanoians. |
Mr. Tuan, a shrimp hobbyist in Thanh Xuan district (Hanoi) said: It sounds luxurious but in fact, investing in a 7-color shrimp tank is quite cheap, only from 2-5 million to have a satisfactory shrimp tank. "However, to have a beautiful shrimp tank, the player must be passionate and willing to learn. Personally, I have been playing shrimp for about 5 years, I feel that this is a cheap but very good and interesting hobby. Especially every time I come home from work, I put my hand in the tank to massage the shrimp, it feels great, I feel no more tiredness" - Mr. Tuan shared.
Mr. Tuan said that normally, a glass tank costs around 2 million VND, depending on the size, the price will vary. Ornamental shrimp can be bought at shops on Hoang Hoa Tham Street or Nhan Chinh Street (Thanh Xuan District) with an average price of around 20,000 VND to several hundred thousand VND/pair.
