\"Green<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s about time I took photos of these guys in my tank. It’s easy to always find the Crystal Red Shrimps (CRS) and Red Cherry Shrimps (RCS) and in your excitement forget these chaps – the Green Neon Shrimp I mentioned in my previous post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Be warned. The rest of the post is image intensive.<\/p>\n

Because they are green and in a planted tank, they can be a little hard to find. So today, I whipped out the camera and macro lens and caught a few pictures of them.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Green Neon Shrimp hanging out with a juvenile RCS and a shrimplet, possibly also an RCS.<\/p>\n

Here’s another one with the Green Neon amongst spiky moss with another young RCS.<\/p>\n

Since the camera was already pointing toward the tank, I could not help taking more pictures of the other shrimps.<\/p>\n

A slightly over-exposed baby RCS on moss. Because of the flash, you can make out the little dots making up it’s pattern and colour.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s an RCS with a shrimplet nearby. Can you spot the little guy?<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, I’ll give you a little help in this photo. A CRS hangs out with a Green Neon, an RCS juvenile and a shrimplet that’s so young, the colour hasn’t come out yet and is hard to identify.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/a><\/p>\n

And not forgetting my rhino shrimps.<\/p>\n

\"Rhino<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides shrimp, it seems I’ve also been breeding snails. Lots of them. Time to hold back on the food!<\/p>\n

\"Snail<\/a><\/p>\n

I picked up these gelatinous sacs that actually stick onto whatever surface they’re laid on. Each sac contains more than 20 little snails.<\/p>\n

\"Snaill<\/a><\/p>\n

After a few hours, they dried up. When they dried up, I dropped some water on them and they became gelatinous again.<\/p>\n

I’m wondering if these sacs can endure a period of dry and if the young would survive. But I’m not into breeding snails and crushed them all up before I could find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
