INSANE GLOW IN THE DARK SHRIMP, PLEASE READ!!!

[ibr3ak]

I just had to google phosphorus and fish food, here's one article that talks about phosphates in aquaria:

I also found that many hikari fish foods contain 1% of phosphorus.

lmao, hundreds of miles, my camera is far to crappy to take picture let alone videos of this insane display, i wish i could share the rest of these, they just move too fast, i cannot wait to get these breeding, and for sale! sulawesi shrimp step down!!
ill upload more pictures later! there all very faint, but ill do my best to zoom in!

phosphorus should not make anything glow, to what i understand that has nothing to do with this, especially due to the fact only a select few glow, and the glow bright...(in pitch black..)

Actually phosphorus is one of the main elements in all "glow in the dark" products.

From the sounds of the description, this is Chemiluminescence not Phosphorescence. Videos would be great

Those are the coolest looking things! Too bad my African Clawed Frog (Fudge) would make a quick lunch out of them.

i find it hard to beleive eating something "natural" would make something glow, the thing is again, only a select few glow, and glow brightly while 99% of the others...nothing... im going to go to my boss (fish store owner) and buy several tanks, and setups, to start the breeding soon! i have more pictures, but the one youve seen is the best...i think..
