Shrimp Fever!! (Part II)

I recently got hooked on Sulawesi shrimps after catching sight of them due to a friend's recommendation ... scoured around for sources to purchase them but came short. The nearest source was in Kuala Lumpur and they are charging a whopping RM20/piece.

Lady luck decided to finally lend a hand here and "brought" a batch of Sulawesi Cardinal shrimps (a.k.a. white spots) to the local CTY aquarium. :) A friend of mine helped to get some even before they were available for purchase ... heh heh ...

Unfortunately, 4 died over the weekend but the remaining 6 is still looking strong in my nano tank. Hopefully, they will eventually compensate to repopulate their lost comrades. Here's a picture that I manage to capture of one of them early in the morning ... magnificent colors (my wife labeled them as Swarovski Crystal like shrimps ... :))
