Koji, have i ever told you you're an EVIL, EVIL man... but what can i say... gotta love your collection...

BTW, hows that un-known shrimp of yours doing with the crazy looking eyes? and have you worked out what it is yet? is it a hybrid or new species?

As you can see it's doing fine as today.

Koji those tanks and shrimps are fantastic. I always envy your shrimp man. Awesome job.

Thanks. Just enjoying this hobby as much as I can while working.

Today is low grade CRS day.

Now he's one of my favourite piece in my tank.

And finally 2 mini tiny Fire Red Shrimplet capture at the front of the glass feasting on the algae.

Oh... I did not take these pictures with a marco lens. In fact I'm using this tactic called reverse lens photography. By reversing my basic lens 18-55mm, I can take close up of small subject like my shrimps.

Interesting, but if you don't mind me asking, (i'm a photog noob) how exactly does this work and possibly a picture of how you set your camera up?

Some shrimplet shoot I took last night. These are from my Fire Red tank.

These are some of the weird colour one which I believe mutated from the stock.
They are greenish blue!!
