My Shrimp

[Dubby]

I finally managed to get a picture of one of my elusive shrimp and wanted to share with you all. One of the cardinals decided to get in the pic and the CAE is carefully watching the proceedings from behind

Nothing special. They feed off the algae and any other food that I feed the fish. Infact the larger shrimp is quite bold and actually runs off with large chunks of food. Yesterday he was trying to carry a whole frozen bloodworm cube and I had to chase him off.
