Okie doke

Thanks a lot

I'm trying to find my mom's old pantyhoses

That sounds a bit odd but yeah. I also have some fine netting I could possibly try to use

Ah... just one more question. On some of my shrimp, I can see like greenish yellowish line kind of connecting to its head. Its not on the shell but inside the body of the shrimp I think. Is this normal as I see some on certain shrimp but not on others?

I think what you are describing are saddles. So named because that is what they look like. These are eggs being produced by the ovaries of the female shrimp. The eggs are then released and carried at the swimlets, as you can see in you pregnant shrimp. Saddles are seen when the shrimp are well fed and the conditions are right for mating, I think
