Cherry & Amano Shrimp Pics

[Tacklebury]

Well, i was full of confidence until i looked at LondonDragons pictures and now i'm not so sure!!

I've been lent a Macro lens so decided a few piccies of the tanks and its inhabitants would be good.

I hope you like......

First off is one of my Cherry shrimp

A side on shot

Feeding time is always welcome to these little guys

One of my 12 Amano Shrimp

This is a 4 week old Bristle Nose Plec. I have lots if anyone wants some!!! He is around 1 inch long.

A cropped shot of another cherry

Then the same cherry, but edited to try and clear it up. Now i know why some people have really red shrimp! 30 secs work and my shrimp is very red!

I hope you enjoy them.

I will keep on trying different modes, speeds, ISO, aperture, lights, Auto WB, Flash settings etc....... I love my DSLR, but its a bit beyond me at the moment!!!

lovely shrimp and BN you have there, any chance of a full tank shot, am thinking of getting a few cherry shrimp for my 15 gal as well as a few more amano for my current one, how do the two get on?

 

[Tacklebury]

The lights are off on the tank now but i will post a full tank shot in the morning.

Thanks for your comments.

Sorry for the delay Lilfishie here is the picture you requested.

My Shrimps get on fine with each other. The cherries often climb over everything and anything including my plec eggs!!!

I would recommend them to anyone. They may take a few weeks to settle, but once they are happy they will become your favourites, i promise!

Full tank shot

Left side

Right side (note my Java Moss carpet, built using the advice on here!!)

I'll get some night shots later as the reflections are crap!

the tank looks great, i think i will get some cherries once my tank is ready and give my amano some friends.

Go for it you'll never look back.

I got 10 off eBay and 3-4 months later i have around 60-80!!!

Don't panic if you never see them once there in, they will soon multiply!!!

Cheers.

Nice shrimps and BN plec I just love shrimp pics. Tank looks great too. Wish I could grow mosses like that

Cherry shrimps (female) tend to get more red as they age. My older ones are almost solid dark maroon colour that you can hardly see the saddle and eggs. The ones showing in your pics are still quite young

Brilliant shots, that last one is my favourite!

I've got me my shrimp, just need to set up my tank now .

Thanks for your comments everyone.

I have around 40 kilo's of gravel!! I have found that the more the better for my plants, looking on the side my largest plant has roots all the way through the gravel, so i guess its good!
