Picture of newly hatched RCS
By chance I noticed a white spec on the glass of my tank. On closer inspection I realised it was a shrimp. It measured 3mm in length. The shrimp is white to the naked eye and hand lense. I trust it to be newly hatched. The suspected mother is hiding in the moss so no picture is available.

Slightly larger than the already tiny limpet. Nice pic.

Hey nice shrimplets.
I noticed that round thing underneath the shrimplet.
Is that some kind of worm?
I have some of them in my tank too.

Thanks for sharing COTIGIRL. RCS babies are only 2-3 mm long at hatching but they seem to grow much faster than my Caridina sp. shrimp.
