Evening ALL A couple of photos that will give some the creeps, but it is what I do when I get time. I take them to the local markets and sell them as well as Butterflys, most things are farmed these days and one day I will get a web site for Shrimp and Bugs, one day Same Scorpion under UV light

not a good shot but what the heck

JayC now I have go and hide in embarrassment, I think the length of time I have been playing in creek helps and where I live is AMAZING I am about to put up some photos of the other thing I am into BUGS, framing and selling them. TA Bob

The bottom one is a species of Parasesarma, one of the costal ones that need brackish water to complete there life cycle, but the adults live all there lives in fresh water, they are dependant on a soil type to dig the holes in. or they dig under rocks, the males can be bright yellow Middle one is the Tiger crab, Holthuisana Tigerensis it is a protected species that live on a northern branch of the Mitchel river called the Alice river, very common where it occurs. Top one is Holthuisana agassizi, a wide spread species across the Cape and every separated area has a different colour. The family name Holthuisana has been changed, I have not kept up with it. There is lots more nice species, the only one I ever have in numbers is the top one and I just sent heaps off to a wholesaler down south, so you may see some in a shop near you?? and don't believe the story that seams to attach to the purple one, the story they need to get out of water its BS, the bottom one HAS to get out of water as its costal. Time to stop, I could rave on and on Bob

Update

Tried to mount the dual flash like you recommended. Results... ...Still need A LOT more more practice taking photos of shrimps in such a small tank but the advice has really helped. Now I just need to do a better job at spreading the Sinewy Cereal evenly as to now create a dense swarm of shrimps.
