    • Definitely no funding from DOC as I tried in 2022/2023. Also the cost for MPI to consider giving someone a license to sell them in case of success with breeding starts at $25k with no guarantee of granting it. However all of that said they are fun and require a lot of trial an error to get them to breed and get the larvae transferred to salt water, then back to freshwater. I went somewhat far as I get them successfully transferred to salt water and growing into little shrimps which took a long time but failed at the right timing to transfer them back to freshwater.
