Test how good your shrimp spotting abilities are with this picture. P1000429_zps40ae4a3e.jpg Here is a hint, the same female shrimp in the same place just different camera angle. P1000433_zpse82cbae4.jpg

Yes, but the real test is where is she in the first picture? :dejection:

A hint look to the left of the Malaysian Trumpet Snails.

Just had to add a new picture of one of my Blackmore River shrimp, they are really hard to spot and most of the time I only find them via seeing a bit of the black sand dancing about as the shrimp nibbles it. P1010075_zps7fac8c11.jpg

After discovering a under water function on my camera, I have been having a heap of fun locating my near impossible to spot Blackmore River shrimp and getting some nice photos of them. So here are a couple of updates.

So this morning when inspecting my tanks with a torch before the tank lights came on, I discovered that my Blackmore River shrimp have had yet more babies. I have never seen the tiny newly hatched ones on the glass again but I do keep finding bubs from a couple of mm up to half grown getting about the tank. With so many of varing sizes it can only be that they are breeding and breeding pretty well. Which is a huge plus for me. Now I am hoping since the blackmores are doing so well once the red noses and chameleons are fully mature they will also start adding their offspring to the tank. Any way here is a shot of one of the berried females and another female that may be early berried and the eggs haven't gone dark yet.

Slightly better pic of the berried female. And just noticed in the picture above that there is actually two juvi's of different sizes in the same shot. P1010644_zps3de6ed69.jpg
