Some Uninvited Tank Inhabitants.

[Liam]

May be of some interest to some. Lots of little critters move into a shrimp tank, most of them are completely harmless, except maybe hydra. The daphnia were food in the fish tank, I think they look cool and alien. Got an extension tube for my lens so can take pics of tiny things.
fish food daphnia.

Not so clear but quite weird looking daphnia.

Hydra.

seed shrimp.

copepods, with eggs, no eggs and feeding on moss.

A nematode, tiny white thread like guys

well as I took the pics I had to show them somewhere.

Amazing. Although they're all so alien like, they actually are beautiful with all their tiny detail.

Great pics.

Excellent photos. What camera/lens did you use?

 

[RadaR]

Brilliant pics as always Liam. It's nice to clearly see what we only see glimpses of sometimes.
Were these all taken against a black background? Or some help with photoshop (that's not meant to be a cheeky comment btw).
Never knew Daphnia had blue on them

Great pics, i tried to get one of the hyrda in my tank and it came out as a tiny green blur.

I'm speechless, seriously that's more like microscopy, really amazing!
I've tried to take pics of springtails and cyclops, I find them very interesting, but I always get a poor result with the lens on my cam .
Thanks for sharing.
