Shrimplet....anybodies guess

[Baccus]

I found another well grown shrimplet, well....grown in relation to how they small they start out.

The only trouble is I have no idea what its parentage is, it could be a DRN, DAS or a Blackmore even a chameleon, all of them are in together and all of them I have seen berried at different times. The only thing I am sure of is that its not a zebra

My guess would be DAS, but entirely guessing at this size. Well done on breeding them anyway.

Congrats on getting the shrimplet to survive, very interested to know what they are too. :victorious:

Thanks, I have lots of shrimplets of all sizes in the tank, and because of them being so small I am weary of trying to siphon out to much of the mulm that accumulates in the tank. The shrimp seem happy if all but impossible to locate half the time.

All the shrimp went nuts before, I gave them some more first bites food, what ever is in that certainly gets the shrimp excited.

Another pic showing two different ages of some of my native shrimp. They are so hard to spot, not only are they small but also the black sand and thick layer of mulm in the tank really helps them hide, the tannins don't help with viewing too much either. Most of the time I can only see them when I see some sand grains dancing about or they are sitting on something to contrast against.

And a heavily berried female

These girls really do pack the eggs in.
