I finally got my first batch of Cherry Shrimp yesterday! These little ones are the reason I wanted to get a tank in the first place. So here are a few shots. Enjoy!

I would have never thought I'd think a shrimp was beautiful but they really are cool creatures ( and not just with cocktail sauce you sicko's) I got my first shrimp tank too but after seeing your pictures I realize I need some big old snails! They look great together! What kind do you recommend that don't eat your plants ?
:dance:

I'm not to sure about the plant issue. But mine are plain Briggs, and my plants are plastic. I think I have heard that Briggs will just eat the dead and dying leaves of plants? I really have enjoyed watching the shrimp scurry around and ride the snails.

Yes they do. I was really impressed how bright red they turned after they settled in. It was worth the wait to get them, Thanks again. You raise some nice shrimp!
