Shrimp Appreciation Thread

[Baccus]

Those of us that keep shrimp all have those few photos that we are particularly proud of getting, be it because a shrimp was finally in just the right spot for the photo and you had the camera handy, or because the shrimp is just stunning to look at. So I thought I would create a thread that was for all the shrimp keepers (including salty ones because many marine shrimp are also stunning), where we can show off our prized shrimp photos and perhaps convert a few more people over to the shrimp side of aquarium keeping.
I'll kick it off with some of my native beauties.
First off some of my chameleons
North Australian Chameleon Shrimp - Caridina sp WA4








Blackmore River Shrimp - Caridina sp NT2





Darwin Red-nose Shrimp - Caridina sp Gulf1




Darwin Algae Shrimp (DAS) - Caridina sp NTnilotica


Riffle Shrimp - Australatya striolata




Non-native shrimp
Red Cherry Shrimp






Black Cherry Shrimp

Your shrimp look pretty to Ch4rlie, and I really hope one day you can track down some C. sp Gulf1 ( I suspect there may be some in Germany).
Thrujenseyes that's a great shot of your amano shrimp!

My tank has had a baby shrimp explosion, and I notice about 6 females are berried up.

Must speak to my Betta hes not doing a good job culling them.
