Re: Iwagumi Low Profile Opaeula Tank Setup
Observations for today: I've been observing this particular shrimp for quite some time now and I affectionately called him Quasimodo. He seem to have a growth that makes him look like the hunchback.

Re: Iwagumi Low Profile Opaeula Tank Setup

I wonder what's wrong :\ First-time moms? If water conditions are right, will there be eggs laid in the first place? Or it doesn't ma...

Haha I'm not using any fancy camera.. Just my iPhone and a rather cheap lens attachment I bought online! Check out Aliexpress for deals.

Re: Iwagumi Low Profile Opaeula Tank Setup
Bad news.. My first berried shrimp dropped almost all of her eggs. Now there's 2 left
Of the two I noticed that one has developed eyes
Hopefully these 2 make it... Berried #2 still holding on to her eggs it seems.
