I was cleaning my tank and i found the baby pepermint shrimp i have been waiting for- there are at least 1000 of them it looks like- Im not too worried on raising them- i will let them go for it on their own- but it will be cool if one or two make it- I was hard to take a pic b/c they are only 1mm in length- so i turned off all water and then snapped a quickie- they cant swim really- but their little legs are kicking all over-

j21kickster · Dec 11, 2003

closer- sorry for poor quality but at 1mm- well... see the eyes- cool huh?

j21kickster · Dec 11, 2003

Na- if i name them i will get depressed and suicidal when they die:nope:

My clown gobies cant get enough of them- in the last 10 minutes they have already ate 20 or so

Toss a couple hundred in your sump so they can have a battle royal with your pods. LoL

My cleaners had young uns a few weeks ago...for about the 10th time!
A few babies have taken up residence under the folds of my cynarina where they have managed to avoid predators. Hopefully one or two will survive. I don't count on it though. I've never had any live long enough to get a decent pic. Good camera work...those little dudes can be very tough to capture on film.:thinking:
