Franken-Shrimp!

I think a few of our Fire Red shrimps are genetically related to the Mutant-X creatures. Maybe one of these mornings, we will find them trapeze-ing in the air or even walking across the kitchen to use the bathroom and then hop back into the tank! Haha!!!

It can live out of the water!!!!!! 

The Tank & Its Inhabitants

Perfect!

We added 3 ottos to the tank. 

If you can see a zebra coloured shrimp, that's our new baby who was recently birthed forth. 

Birthed Forth!

Do you see what I see?

Glorious Eggs!

Aren't they a beauty?

This was most unfortunate. A female decided to abort her pregnancy. Those green stuff are eggs. And this shrimp is eating them. Well, unfortunately that's life. 

We Are Having Babies!!!

Pregnant with eggs!

You can see the eggs more clearly at the reflection on the glass.

We currently have 4 pregnant ladies. One is on the verge of giving birth. Long live the shrimps!!!

Shrimp-ing Away!

He ain't heavy, he's my brother!

It's A Shrimpy World!

A little bit more than a month back, we sold the old tank and the fishes and got Joel a 50L planted tank equipped with a chiller and canister filter. He wanted to have shrimps. The only Rili shrimp that was left, was finally eaten by the upside down catfish. Joel was devastated. Our climate being so hot, we needed a chiller in order for the shrimps to thrive and multiply. Well, between a puppy and shrimps, I would choose shrimps in less than a heartbeat.

The tank needed a month to be cycled in order for the good bacteria to build its colony. Also any living thing would die with all the ammonia, nitrate and nitrites spikes. I never knew this when we first bought fish for Joel more than a year ago. No wonder the fish would always get sick and died. The shock was just too much for them.

The Blue Diamond shrimp!

The Fire Red shrimps! They really are fiery red!

The Fire Red, Blue Diamond & Orange shrimps!

A very pregnant Fire Red. She has just given birth. The babies are just too small to be captured on my camera.
