Mustafa,

I saw that you added Pearls to the shrimp varieties page. Any chance we can get a picture of one hiding in its hole?

Hi Brad,

I'll see what I can do. It's becoming increasingly harder to observe that behavior since my shrimp have lost all fear and are crusing around the tank. The burrowing behavior is for safety and occurs when the shrimp feel threatened. Maybe I'll have to scare them a little to pose for the camera...

Take care,
Mustafa

Ok...here are some pictures of one of my Macrobrachium banjare in his hole:

This one is pretty bad quality:

The second one is of much better quality but still not all that great:

He dug that hole and made himself comfortable in it.

Thanks.

I like the second one -- it almost looks like the shrimp is giving you 'the evil eye'.

You're welcome.
