Let's see your shrimp!

[TheresaM]

Great color for the Red ones. And WOW is that momma packing a full load. Looks heavy, lol!

Thanks! I'm thinking about pulling some of the more intense reds and putting them in their own tank.

Lots of eggs but she was really zipping around the tank! It was late when I posted and just after I saw at least one shrimplet so tank lights went off. Not really sure if I have enough plants cover in the tank yet for them.

"Blood" thirsty! Lol couldn't help myself.
Nice shrimp though, nice colors!

Higher grade RCS, diet, breeding...any one of those things or a combination.

Blue dreams don't show up well on EcoComplete, finally got a decent shot off the substrate:

Probably molted and is hiding. Did you see any shell remnants?

Oh my god, I didn't even see this reply until I scrolled this far. Sorry!
To answer, no, there are no shell remnants. I shall have to scour the room for his shrivelled exoskeleton one day when the lease is up. I keep my room cool and dry, so perhaps the ants polished him off before he could stink up the place. I think I'll just stick with ghosts in my main tank for now. I ideally want a 20 gal long before I even attempt to house a vampire. He was an impulse buy to be honest.

Really beautiful blue color there!

Really beautiful blue color there!

Thanks! I hate to say I'm disappointed with them but they're just so difficult to see on a dark substrate. Was chatting with a friend the other day who keeps them and she said the same thing. Planning to do some tank rearranging in the next few months so they'll either move onto a lighter colored substrate or get sold.

I wear eye glasses, use a mag glass, and have a 4x zoom smart phone.

8x zoom is available, but it's just too much.

Interesting shot with the mag, was it difficult to do?

Nice colors! I've ordered fish from Aquatic Arts but not shrimp. Do you have a link for SoShrimp?

 

[Laeris]

I took the chance and ordered via Amazon. They were delivered wrapped in standard pink wall insulation, which was fine at the time. I'd see what cooler weather packing is before ordering between now and late spring.

Oooh the orange ones! Like bitty orange slices with legs! ? So pretty!

Thanks, they really do have nice color and stand out against the substrate. I have an empty 2.5g I've been debating about doing shrimp only. Thought about some fire red cherries but might go with orange sakura instead.

The mag is easy since this one is on a stable base. I think it is used mainly by Lepidopterists.
