I think i have shrimp!!!!

Post by danielmiller82 »

Tonight on my way to bed... I noticed something funny in my tank...I saw my goby behind some rocks going Wild!!! I thought he might have been stuck so i got the flashlight. well...in this pocket in the side corner...(where none of my fish can swim too...there were little tiny things floating around...i looked again and they were ALL throughout my tank. At first i thought that they were just pods...but then i noticed that they were "popping" like shrimp(where they fold their tails in towards their body really quick for propulsion) . As I examined closer... they have a BIG black eyes, large torso, long skinny abdomen and a fanned out tail! From certain angles, the eyes glow blue from the flashlight beam...just like the shrimp i see in the gulf. I got some video of them...
