Love your photos! All were taken through the glass of the aquarium (none are with camera immersed inside the tank?) Please post more!

Hi ! Oh no they are all taken through the glass. Technically my camera can go underwater, but that would be such a mess ! And would scare the little critters.

I saw a female with eggs and fort the first time observed that the eggs seem to be weakly linked together. Here is a video, as long as I could make it, to observe this on a female with "loose eggs" (sorry, my English is becoming a problem when trying to accuratly describe the effect) https://imgur.com/a/jvHP6x1

I saw the yellow ones a few times again, but they are not as bright as they were the first time I observed them

Really eye-popping images and movies! The shrimp must be very close to the glass for you to get such nice magnified images!

Hi all,
:smt007 Today I got extremely lucky ! A female with tons of almost-ready-to-go larvae stayed just in front of the aquarium, and close to the surface ! I've been able to capture the lil' critters up close :o
