@lupdiesel

My name is Robert Lupton and I started LupDiesel YouTube channel in 2009. I initially had the intention to use YouTube to record my own ventures in the aquatic hobby. Before I knew it, I had a following of faithful subscribers that supported and encouraged me to continue to pursue my passion. By 2014, I knew that I wanted to take my love for shrimp and fish to the next level. In July of that year, Flip Aquatics, LLC was formed. Flip Aquatics is a USA based business out of Warren Ohio. We specialize in freshwater shrimp. Flip Aquatics breeds the shrimp they sell right here in the USA. By doing this, we plan to cut down on shipping time, help eliminate disease and parasites, and lower the cost of the actual shrimp.
