I have a tendancy to stare at my 20 gal in small areas for minutes and minutes at a time and to my suprize I found a shrimp that wasn't a mysis shrimp
my bro gave me a bunch of base rock about 6 months ago and at that time his shrimp (scarlet * blood) were activily spawning..many of times of which little babies were made..and I ended up getting some...well of course most of them likely died..but 6 months later here I spot a 1 cm long transparent red coloured black eyed sprimp (no shine..hense no mysis - which I have TONS of) swimming around in the back corner of my tank around one of my baby hermits (which came with my original LR...2 mm long without shells estimated...I have crushed coral mixed with aragonite sand so they have lots of tiny shell choices..pretty little guys...taking FOREVER to grow though almost a year and there only this long)..I've had no fish for 3 months now..have one scarlet...one open brain and a bunch of zoos...my pod population is massive...talking every kind of regular pod I've seen in the hundreds of all sizes..I figure this little shrimp has got lots to feed from (.5-1mm long pods)...so I thought it was pretty cool since I only hear of people trying to raise shrimp babies..but the difficulty behind it prevents success.
anyhting special I should do for this little guy? or just leave him be and continue with the norm...I feed my tank cleaners and brain/zoos once a week..with bloodworms mixed with invertabrate food and once in a while whole shrimp
the little guy looks so cool :joy:
