Picture of newly hatched RCS

By chance I noticed a white spec on the glass of my tank. On closer inspection I realised it was a shrimp. It measured 3mm in length. The shrimp is white to the naked eye and hand lense. I trust it to be newly hatched. The suspected mother is hiding in the moss so no picture is available.

Slightly larger than the already tiny limpet. :) Nice pic.

Hey nice shrimplets.
I noticed that round thing underneath the shrimplet.
Is that some kind of worm?
I have some of them in my tank too.

Thanks for sharing COTIGIRL. RCS babies are only 2-3 mm long at hatching but they seem to grow much faster than my Caridina sp. shrimp.
