This is the new Challenge

The Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata Amboinensis) is a beautiful species, and very useful too. It is not that people have not tried to breed them, many have tried and failed. They are just very difficult to raise.

How to start small when you have a utopian project.

Pacific sleeper

Pacific sleeper – The pacific fat sleeper is a very attractive specie to produce due to its great adaptability to extreme conditions and the high interest shown by some ethnical markets.

Self-sustained Organic Production project (SSOP) is very flexible in producing many different fresh water fish species like Nile tilapia, rainbow trout, catfish and many others. Nevertheless, SSOP plans to focus its fish production to the pacific sleeper (dormitator latifrons) and sell it to the international market.
