I only have old pics from a couple weeks ago but here is the one.
I can take a new picture when I get done wagecuckin
Since that picture I have added javamoss, marimo, and almond leaves to the tanks.
I plan on starting with 10 per tank to give good mix of sexes
One color/species per tank
I have 2 more 20 longs to setup but I'm waiting on getting a gang valve for my airpump.

Yeah I did the cinderblock and 4x6 method that aquarium co-op has a video on
It's way more sturdy then I thought it would be
He says use one row of cinderblock and 2x4 but that wasn't deep enough for a 20 long to sit deep so I did 2 rows of cinderblock and used 4x6 for more strength

bout 350, no but seriously thats a really funny way to put it, the shrimp population kind of increases exponentially over time, maybe doubling every 4 months, so get a big tank get it too its maximum capacity and you could sell hundrads of shrimp a week

I'm sure you guys aren't illegally making and selling shrimps right? you guys have your aquaculture permit right?

Contact your local authorities first and obtain proper permits and business license for operating a commercial shrimp farm in your area. Most states will require you to purchase an aquaculture permit in order to operate a commercial freshwater shrimp farm. You can obtain a license from your state’s Department of Agriculture.

I unironically run a shrimp biz in South America. You need a ISO certificate to be able to export and start getting good money.
Hardest part I would say was getting the initial investment money AND dealing with the fucking shrimp's mafia that is going on around here.
For the initial investment, I just took a big ass loan from the bank which is a joke to pay, since the inflation here is absurd.
I had to contact several people who were already on the biz and surprise surprise, they were the fucking goverment people. Fucking new money faggots owning almost 80% of shrimp farms here.
After some talks and bribes they let me set up an small farm with the condition of paying 3% of the earnings EOY. Fucking extorsionists.
Anyways, started breeding around 10,000 shrimpies and bought them for like $0.10 each (converted from my currency to dollar) in a land/pool that costed me $30k.
I was eager to get my Investment back, it was a hell lot of money here, so started looking for buyers asap.
Found several on Colombia and Aruba, which 5 out of 30 ended up doing biz with me.
Sold them 1kg of frozen shrimps for about $20. Got around 800kgs with those 10,000 shrimps. So, like $16,000 in 1-2 months. Ended up earning like $10,000 after costs and expenses.
