Thank goodness ,i told you once you get your eye in you start seeing them all over the place. Congratulations well done:encouragement:

[K9932]

Hehe they are. I wasnt even looking for them, just looking st the adult ones and they were just sitting on the moss in plain view. Can only see three but over the moon!

Congrats, I had a feeling there might have been some hiding, it's like "Where's Wally" once you see him the first time it gets sooooo much easier, well done! :applause:

[poeticwinter]

congratulations K9932 you find your shrimplet!

[K9932]

Hehe, Thanks Ineke and Poeticwinter

Very excited!

[K9932]

The mumma and her babies.

They look like they have a bit of a red tinge to them. Is this because they are newborn or would they have CRS genes ?

[K9932]

Also some snail eggs.

I had lots of fun with my macro today :)

[Heavyd]

Great photos! Makes me realise how long it's been since I pulled out my macro lens.

[K9932]

Thanks Heavyd :)

I love getting up and close with the little shrimplets :triumphant:

[Heavyd]

Definitely. Especially when you can produce good results like above.

[K9932]

Aw :p thankyou

Im still practicing but im quite happy with these pics. Compared to some I took months ago I've improved. Even if it is only just a little :thumbup:

[Squiggle]

Awesome stuff K, the pics are very cool, yeah the red means they are CRS which means they have been crossed in past generations. It's going to take a few generations to breed that out of your CBS, just remove all the CRS babies & the parents that produced them. :encouragement:
