I just noticed that it doesn't look like it's eaten anything yet (nothing in the digestive tract). Another point for newborn!

I'm guessing that it just hatched and it's so newly born that it hasn't had a chance to eat yet.

Well today I counted 3 in my tank and still counting; problem is the java moss on the wood is thick and the babies are quite transparent ~sigh~

For every one you can see, there's probably another 50 hiding in the plants. :-D
