Happy rant about my beloved shrimp!
These pictures are all from a month or two back, but I love my shrimp so much. I've had a shrimp tank for over a year now and so much has changed! I started out with blue shrimp, and yellow shrimp (all neocaridina), they bred and made a mix of brown/tan, yellow, and orange?! Then they started having babies of their own!
I've seen 2 eggnancies so far with this generation. It's so fun to see what different colors they turn into as they grow! I love to see that these, now mature, yellow shrimp have gotten their mother's racing stripe/I believe they're called golden backs in the shrimp breeding space? It's just such a cool pattern! I'm starting to see some racing stripes appear on their babies as well which is so exciting!!! They keep passing it down, I love these guys so much.
I also love how they seem to be different shades of whatever color they are, no shrimp looks the exact same, it's so neat. I just love watching them.
Also a little personal, but I struggle with fatigue everyday, and mental health some days, so not having to feed these guys a lot has been super. However, I do really enjoy blanching vegetables and watching them feast together, I should probably drop an algae wafer and a veg in today since I haven't fed them in a while!
