Look what arrived today!!!

nice looking shrimp

I don't know if this mystery snail is large enough to be save from the assassin snail. I know assassins eat baby mystery snails but usually ignore adults. Yours may still be on the menu.

Seriously? He's HUGE compared to the assassins!

If you only have that one assassin snail it should be fine. I know the 3 I have took down a snail that size as a pack.

LOL Your new carbons seem to be camouflaging themselves quite well.

Its been known for assassins to eat shrimp, and gang up on larger snails to take them down!

Lol mama I stared at the first picture trying to figure out what was new. Thought it was the plant and moved on then I seen the hint of blue lol. Made me laugh, I just got some too and they are awesome! I have a solid blue one that is really [email protected]!

Very nice! Congrats on the new shrimp

Count me - jealous-

Beautiful, I'm sure you will enjoy them muchly.

I'm sure I will, when they are big enough to see well! LOL Right now they are so tiny, they blend right in with the rocks. Hindsight, perhaps black substrate was a poor choice hahaha!

I am however getting some yellow neos in soon and hopefully those will show up a bit better. My 4 year old demanded yellows lol.

lol demanded! Spoken like a true shrimper :hihi:

Your one shrimp seems to be using the snail as a new (slow) steed to carry him "king of the shell!"

They all investigated him when I first dropped him into the tank. It was quite cute and I'm glad I was able to get a few nice photos!
