I’m Hop Bui — the creator of The Brothers Shrimp. I am TB Shrimp.
The obsession started in 2016 in Australia. I first saw Caridina at a local fish store and fell in love just by staring at them. I kept mainly Crystal Red and Blue Bolt. There are no photos of that spark — only the memory.
Today I run two farms in Vietnam: one in Vũng Tàu and a newer site nearby. Together they hold 116 racks of specialty Caridina — Hornets, BOAs, Galaxies, and ongoing projects.
This site is my farm journal: water, grading, and the journey — with notes and photos as I fill each chapter in.
What’s coming
I’ll walk through each stage of the journey — from Australian hobby tanks, to my Vietnam bedroom with the first racks, then the container and the farms today — with photos from the real rooms.
