Thanks for the pictures Mordaki. It is kind of difficult to see a green shrimp on a plant with the same shade of green. The eggs sure stand out though :shock:

I can't see the last pic.

Just for future, it's helpful to crop the photo on your computer first, and just show us the subject of interest. The generic paint program that comes on most computers works really well for this. That way, we're not presented with a huge picture and no idea what we're looking at ;-)

oh, I see the eggs now. It took me a while.

I can see the camera phone picture now. It sure is great picture quality for a phone!

Congrats! Be aware: the hatchlings are puny. If you have a HOB filter, you better get a very fine-pored prefilter. I know of one, if you need the link PM me. Otherwise you can also transition to sponge filters only.

thank you, much better! :-D

I have a REALLY hard time getting my camera to focus on shrimp eggs or babies, too. Actually, getting it to focus on the adults is hard enough :roll:

:D Wow great to hear about all these shrimp carrying eggs. Wait until they hatch and you try to take pictures of the tiny babies!

Thanks again.
