How big is he/she? Do you raise those as well? Nice pictures. What camera do you use?

pretty!
Who are the leaves for, since I can't imagine an Atyid shrimp picking at dead leaves. Or do they? |

I am not sure if it is a he or She, It has been so long that I forgot how to sex them.
The are both just under 3 inches.

No, not at this time.
But I am going to give it a try,
The Larva need salt water, and I have not mastered that yet.

A Kodak Point-N-Shoot.
For every 1 good picture, I have to delete 10.
I do not have the money for a nice 35mm, I spend it on more Inverts

Your pictures are better than mine. So I was wondering. I am just trying to get to the point I can raise the freshwater shrimp  and it's starting to go better. I feel bad about the number of casualties I've had though.
Good luck with your new ones. I bet the little ones are cute.

Hi ADimeATATime
The 2 most important things I have found,
First is Water Quality
Second is Feeding.
They kind of go hand in hand.
I have had my share of casualties 
Good Luck
