My red cherry's berry hatched! (also featuring my new C. corona)

Over Thanksgiving weekend I went home, which happens to be close to Arakkis' house. I went over there telling myself over and over not to buy everything in sight and luckily I escaped with just one Clithon corona

Believe me, there was a lot to see and a lot of temptation: coronas, spixis, turretas, there were even a bunch of the new sulawesis! Supposedly the sulawesis were still acclimating but they were already having babies hehe.

So I get back and after a day or two, my little corona finally decides to come out of hiding and I spent several hours trying to get some decent shots. I was just about to call it a night when I saw them...



see em? see em? shrimp hatchlings! :dance: They easily could have been hatched for a few days already and I just didn't see the little tykes. Now for those corona pics, which, btw has yet to be named, I'm hoping I can get some suggestions for names (hollygirl I'm lookin at you :grinyes







I don't know when it happened but I only just noticed it's missing one of its spikes :cry:. For some reason he loves traversing the waterline exactly half in, half out of the water hehe.

Finally, a group shot during feeding time



there's even a little shrimpling perched on London's shell (London is the purple briggy)

hehe thanks all. That's no assassin snail david, that's my Clithon corona (I'd love some assassins but I refuse to put them in the same tank as my brigs, too paranoid!). Photo of the Month? Never thought I'd be that good after seeing some of the shots from flaringshutter and southerndesert hehe (among others of course).

And Chazgirl I feel your pain, I just feel lucky the little fella decided to touch down on a black rock, it's impossible to photograph them on the glass. And for every one photo that's a keeper, I throw out at least 15-20 =/

My next tank will be for assassins...someday =/

Oh a question about coronas: Are their spikes always on the right side?

lol I will definitely take Bombus into consideration
