These pictures took quiet a long time for me to take and for me to post here as I have promised a while back. Sorry for the delays but I hope all of you will enjoy.

My snowball shrimps

Green shrimps and snowball feasting together on a Hikari Crab Cuisine Pellet. The juvenile green shrimps are very tiny compare to juvenile snowball shrimps because they take a LONG time to grow.

One of my pregnant Rusty Macrobrachium carrying eggs for close to 2 weeks now.

And finally, the baby Rusty Macro. who has been growing for 2 weeks or more now. I have other smaller Rusty Macro. babies but they are very hard to get a good photo shot at. The substrate I used for the Green shrimps, Red Cherry Shrimps, and Snowball shrimps is Seachem Onyx Sand and I do not have any problems so far. The pH stays around 7.4 - 7.6. In the Rusty Macro. shrimp tank, I used Flourite.
I used the Sony DSC-P72 Cybershot digital camera which is very hectic when it comes to taking pictures of the tank. All kinds of problems. Maybe I will be investing in a newest digital type camera from Canon in the very near future. :-D

Thank you Mustafa as always for all your advice and encouragement. And thanks to all of you in this forum as well for all advices and encouragement as well. Without all of you, I would have given up this hobby quiet a long time ago. And now, I already have gotten 2 of my friends the "shrimp bug". Hahahahaha! :-D
