Thanks a lot man

It's all in the camera and practice. I am still far from taking "amazing" pictures though :-P

Shrimp UPDATE: The day has finally come!! So a couple of days ago I was looking at my tank and then I suddenly noticed, my female had no eggs! So I started frantically looking around the tank for baby shrimp fearing she had somehow dropped the eggs after like 1 or 2 weeks of carrying them. To my dismay I did not see a single tiny shrimp

But today as I was looking at the glass of my tank for Hydrato scrape off with the Mag-Float, I spotted one! At first it took me a while to "compute" what I was seeing but I got over it and realized these guys had been hiding from me for 2 days! I started to look around the tank and sure enough I counted 8 total. I am sure I have a lot more still hiding, I am so EXCITED! The mother is already saddled again and the other saddled female should be getting berried up anytime now

WOOT! Pictures will come soon! I was able to take a few pictures, only one shows a baby shrimp but it is a bit hard to see. The camera has no battery though so you guys will have to wait to see them!

Shrimp UPDATE: Well the shrimp seem very happy and a lot of them are very active. Today I counted 17 baby shrimp! A lot of them (about 5) I saw in the Java Moss, 4 on the big black rock, and the rest on the Anarchis (8).

Shrimp UPDATE: The baby RCS are all over the tank and yesterday I found a new saddled cherry, so now I have three saddled females in the tank

Plant UPDATE: Well someone sent me a bunch of free plants some of which I don't know the name (they are in pretty bad shape). Plants include Rotalla Rotundifolia, Dwarf Sagitarius, and Java Ferns.

Picture UPDATE: Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've been really busy with school as finals are coming up. Anyways to make up for that: 44 new pictures!

Not quite sure which unknown plant you're talking about but if i'm thinking of the one you're not sure of it's Cambomba.

I really like all the pictures! My favorite is the picture of the baby RCS on the glass.
