Well shrimp are a lot smaller than cats thank goodness.
I lost count when I got to 100. I only started with 3 and I can see a lot of the shrimps have a saddle full of eggs ready to increase the size of my flock, .... or whatever the name is for a heck of a lot of shrimps, they certainly look like sheep as they graze on the moss balls in the tank.

Re: What have you just bought?
I certainly like the idea of a troupe of shrimp. They race around the tank bumping into each other and generally acting silly most of the time so they could be likened to a troupe of clowns.
A full grown one is at the most 15mm long and a lot of mine are under 3mm so I wouldn't like to have to try to shell them if I decided to make some Potted Shrimp.. Now if they were prawns that would be a different matter. 
Add// I just did a Google and would you believe it!! a collection of shrimp is really a Troupe. You clever man Taf. I have to say though that my husband recons it should be a Platter of Shrimp .. but then he does enjoy his sea food.

A house. 
I can fully see why it's seen as such a stressful occasion. I'm sure my solicitors are going to buy a boat with all the money they are charging for endlessly sending letters back and forth.
