The Red Cherry Shrimps

These two pictures above were loaded from the web and the pictures below was the one that i kept in my tank. I bought quite a numbers but now left a few in the tank;in fact those that i kept in my office did hatch well (once) but the number was decreasing now.Don't know due to what!

May be i should add some salt in the water.

Cherry Red Shrimp

Never exceed an inch. These shrimpy shrimps eat algae and French cut green beans. Of course they prefer flake food. Great for planted aquaria with tetra size fishes. Add salt to taste. We don’t get them very often because they come in packs of 300 out of Taiwan.

Switching the fishes from the ground tank to the other tank

A shy discus fish

A pair of angle fish,laid eggs before but not enough spare tank to breed them.When they got disturbed,all eggs will be eaten up by themselves.

These Kelah fish and two other unknown breed were caught in Templer Park.You won't believe that they actually breed in my blue plastic ground tank.I sort of can recognised their eggs-all wrapped up in a leave after laying.Cos i accidentally destroyed one when i mistook it as dirt accumulation on a leave. Yesterday while cleaning the tank i found another batch of eggs wrapped up with the water plant's leaves.

Those smaller size Kelah fish you see from the pictures and the video are from the hatching...Surprised really!!!It really happened in just a simple tank like this! As a hobbyist, you would definitely feel great that your fishes are breeding...

The bottom part of the tank showing the water plant that i found a batch of newly laid eggs by my Kelah fish. As you can see from the pictures,I tried to set up a place as "conducive" as possible for the fishes to feel comfortable. No Wonder they LAID eggs!!

My Koi are kept in a small concrete tank.
