if i didn't experience it myself i'd never believe it....

i woke up this morning (5:25 AM EST) because nature called, when i walked back into the bedroom, i noticed a faint bluish-green glow from within the tank

It turns out one of my Amanos is *glowing*, a faint iridescent bluish-green, almost ...

yes, the second and third pictures look identical to my mystery shrimp

the eggs were tiny and dark brown, her coloration is a deep brown, i know she's not an Amano, that's for sure, the LFS said she was a "wood" shrimp, but i see no evidence of filter fans, looks like she has the same feeding leg setup as Amano and Cherry shrimp, she's about 1.5" long and i'd assume ...

I have a 20 long heavily planted Dwarf Puffer tank (2 female 1 male) that also contains 4 Otocinclis catfish, and a good amount of Amano shrimp (15) and a "Vampire" shrimp, the puffers are perfectly fine with the shrimp, heck the Amanos sometimes steal the puffer's snails from them while they're ...
