After what seemed like an insanely long gestation - she has been pregnant since August - my red clawed shrimp finally had her babies last night. They are beyond cute, they walk with their little heads straight up in the air, and the only color they have is a white band around their neck. But they are so transparent that I can't get a picture right now, maybe if I get lucky some will get on a plant. I'm not even sure how many I have!
 
Mama is in hiding right now, and daddy.. well he accidentally hitched a ride on a plant that I moved from one tank to another and he got.. um.. eaten by a cichlid... :(

But here is one of the offspring! There are little exoskeletens floating all over the tank so hopefully they will be bigger soon..
