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 an...

Every puffer has it's own unique personality, i can't guarantee that other DP's *wouldn't* eat the shrimp, mine are laid back, i did test them with a few ghost shrimp first, they ignored them, so it was safe to put in the Amanos ironically, the only fish the puffers showed a modicum of interest in w...
