Here I was I bought my new python and I was going to try it out. I started to vacuum the gravel and then I notice that something was almost in the tube!!I thought it was a cory cat so I pulled up quick...but instead it was looking like my shrimp!!I gasped at the thought that he was dead!!!But on closer inspection it was only his molted exoskeleton. I figured since I hadn't saw him in awhile maybe he had grown I though....my shrimp is now about 2 1/2 inches long looking quite lobsterish. How big do freshwater shrimp get? I thought this might amuse someone else so though that I would post. Thanks have a good one all.
