shrimps! Sunday, October 5, 2008 3:29 PM
here's some pictures of my new shrimp hobby.

i bought five sakura shrimps for $8 last saturday at clementi,
even though i hadn't had my tank done up, i had to get them because 3 were berried (pregnant)!

i did up my planted tank with great help from nev,
we placed the gravel,
tied on moss onto the mesh,
made a moss wall,
and i took water from his tank to fill half of mine so i need not cycle my tank for a month (bloody long)
but i filtered the water and added anti-chlorine
for a couple of days, the shrimps stayed in a plastic container.

just a few days ago, i slowly let my shrimps into their new home.
they like to hide.

especially behind the moss wall!

also, i got a good picture of one heavily berried shrimp!
see the huge yellowish belly?
the yellow stuffs are the eggs,
and when you see the eyes appear in the eggs,
they are about the hatch in just a few days!

if you didn't know what a shrimplet looks like, here it is -
can you spot it?

there are many of them, but they hide.
a few weeks later, we'll see them grow up!
