Shrimps Interbreeding.....

The shrimps has been interbreeding.....

It started with albino-like Cherry Shrimps, and then they started to look darker and more like a tiger shrimp.....

Now I even have Koi-like colors amongst others.....

Dried shrimp.....

Dried or rather died.....

For reason unknown to me, a cherry shrimp decided to venture into dry land and ended dried or died.....

Perhaps the 38 odd cardinals who were not fed the day earlier proved too stressful to this particular shrimp.....

More cardinals, ottos and shrimps.....

A water change took away one cardinal and I came back with vengeance.....

My good old guppy tank.....

One look and it is deceiving.....

One look and it is brushed off as a abandoned tank.....

One look for those in the know will draw them closer to it.....

The fact that it is teeming with life is not well represented by its outlook.....

I have healthy Nana Petite, two in fact in the tank and a drift wood, not that the wood is alive anyway.....
And if you look carefully there are two flying foxes too.....

And finally shrimps, my favorite tank citizen.....

Mount of shrimps.....

Citizens of my tank.....

Once a minority where even my Otto outnumbered them; the days have come for them to rule.....

They are by the hundreds and even the darkest pits of the Eiheims are their domain.....

My tank and it's so different from it was first scaped.....

My tank is so much different now from the day one.....

Let's see some details but not the whole scape as yet.....

And the nerrites have been reduce to 3 stooges.....

Best of them all are the cherries, thriving and offsprings everywhere.....

And this is the part I love the most, I managed to get shots where the female is actually bearing eggs.....bear in mind all these were taken with Nokia 5800 camera.....

An Otto died and shrimps turn the hunter.....

I always thought that fishes eat shrimp but I was proved wrong.....

Food maketh thee red; acknowledge the shrimps.....

Where did all these come from?

More importantly why did all these come to be at all.....

This is why.....

Bubbles in my surface skimmer and the best of all.....

As you can see, there are plenty of bubbles.....but this is not what I wanted to tell.....

Look further down for the interesting part......

The last photo has so many shrimps and what happened was this.....my skimmer was not floating after being sucked down and all these shrimps were sucked in too.....

So I was so surprised when I cleaned up the filter only to find so many shrimps and for those who knew how Eheim 2213 works, there shouldn't be shrimps that is bigger than the slots in the net that has been placed around the suction.....let alone cherry and in this case; a Yamato! Meaning they have been sucked from the skimmer side!

My Bee shrimp just reappeared.....

Voila!

My Bee shrimp which I thought has long gone extinct in my tank has reappeared.....

I have given it up dead when I bought 10 from East Aqua in Ikano to complement the 3 I had....

But the next day, not only the 10 disappeared but the previous 3 I had were gone as well.....

However today, I manage to see one and I do hope this is not the last of them.....

And also some pictures of my Cherries and also the Clown Loach.....

Pity the Loach as it is now feeding on Shrimp pellets after all the snails were eaten up.....
