I'm sitting here looking at my horse tank...as usual...when all of a sudden this EXPLOSION of white specks are all over the place!!!!
AFTER looking thru a magnifying glass, they are millions of baby shrimp....MY NEMOS are very happy

Does anyone think any will live? Or are thay all food??

Let's just say it is good enough to see that they were shrimp....it's like 4x and has a mini light in it

You can definately tell the difference. My peppermint hatch out babies on occasion and they look VERY cool for the whole day they are around.
I'm just wondering how you counted a million without getting confused if they are moving around.
