Default New Shrimp Pics Posted


I finally got off my lazy butt and posted a few pics of Atyopsis moluccensis and Attya gabonese,
the latter being the most scretive shrimp I've ever had, but also the most personality. You
would swear they're the smartest shrimp around too.

People feed these things? I don't, they just live in a big planted tank. I have caught Atyopsis
moluccensis on film (err, on chip really) using their fans to gather food from the aquarium floor
and have captured them eating a white worm so I guess they're not ONLY filter feedrs.

I have some movies of them "fanning", once I can get them in to a format (mpg) that everybody
can see I'll post them and let y'all know. (if anybody knows where I can get a free MJPEG
codec for W98, please lemme know... Ihave to jump through hoops to play back these
wavelet videos from a Fuji A101.
