this is a 10 gallon, only visible from my work area behind the big tanks... it started with 4 orange shrimp, and 4 - ( 2 males, 2 females ) Japan blue / gold double sword tail guppies... currently close to 20 orange shrimp, and about 20 fry... currently my 2nd most prolific shrimp, and most prolific live bearers...

so, I rarely feed in the evening ( usually in the morning, then head off to work ) but I went into my work area, an hour after I fed last night, and holy cow... the blue shrimp tank was crawling with blue shrimp... They aren't as brightly colored, as some, and apparently better at hiding... I bet I saw more than a dozen adults , on a single limestone slab, eating on the algae wafers I had added earlier... I guess they are doing better than I thought... that tank has my Santa Maria Endlers in it which are also reproducing solidly...

... the cherry shrimp have been breeding like crazy, there may be more than 100 in their 10 gallon, I'm going to have to transplant some of those
