thanks everybody, actually i spent around 5 mins taking that picture !! the little shrimp was cooperating ! hehe

I used a cannon ixus 500. Yup its a cherry shrimp, some of the baby shrimps are nicely colored, some are a bit pale white... dunno why..

cut me some slack ! i know this is not new but taking a picture of shrimps is really hard! haha

lolz

i have a feeling that the shrimps that came from the first batch ( i do not know where they got it) were of poorer health and much older ( deep red) the 2nd batch that i got thru a hobbyist fared better, I am yet to see one of the newer shrimps dead on the tank bottom and also they are red but not t...

and i always thought the the adults should cope with stress more, yup im guessing they are having a hard time adjusting to the new environment.... I just hope the last few femals manage to release young shrimp before they proceed to shrimp heaven :( im trying my best to keep the water clean and tip ...

well recently i purchased a few cherry reds that were mostly female.. and a bit big IMO. out of the 8 that i initially purchased only 4 are left now, they started dying one by one, some of them died while still carryings eggs in their swimerettes. At the same time i also aquired another batch of che...

or just buy the plants in your supermarkets organic section ? hehehe

dandylions interesting ! My shrimps will be arriving this thursday night, 40 in total 20 for me and 20 for my friend, I think il vary their diet and maybe go with the crushed snail every now and then hehehe

dandylion is pet crack probably

I dont think this plant is common here

guess what i checked my shrimps last night and all of them developed a yellow sack on their backs so the shipment was an all female shipment

I see I see I wanted to keep the water really clean to keep the shrimps healthy. Maybe I can try the microworm and see if they eat it... Maybe I can also introduce some common pond snails . and i know it may sound morbid but as a meaty alternative i can crush a few of the snails every now and then s...

Well after the gecko experience a few months back I have finally found another way to source cherry shrimps * smuggling eherm eherm* I have purchased 8 (1 died on the day i got the shrimps) red cherry shrimps and placed them in a 25 gallon tank 3/4 filled with water, with a big sponge filter and a s...

Hmm after reading all the posts im worried now.. i feed my shrimps always because in my 13 gal planted im assuming their numbers are over 50 now.. i feed em algae wafers.. But after reading mustafas post im now worried.. anyway will supplementing with off the counter table top vegetables suffice ? b...

hehe a bit cute! I checked on the tank again last night and guess what I saw ! I saw a lizard waiting in the same place and another lizard nearby !! It looks like the word is spreading ! have to work on keeping my shrimps in the tank and prevent them from foraging on the foam!

I checked in on the tank again twice again, during the first time he still got away, on the third time he got tired and I caught up with him ! i was about to squish him but i couldn't do it ! just picked him up and placed him outside the house

guess what I saw when i went home a while ago after a late night round of poker caught in the act !



tried to catch him, but he proved that he was way smarter then I was and escaped away
