Some Shrimps shots...

[AQUASAUR]

OK, I think it’s my turn to share some Shrimps shots series…
Bigining with the biggest freshwater shrimp - Atyopsis moluccensis

And lets come closer…

Wow very cool...I like the 3rd one the best...the last one is alittle too close..gave me the creeps..lol

That first shot is a beaut. The others seem to be a hair off.

BTW, you might want to reconsider the framing. It doesn't add anything to these shots.

Just how big are these things?

 

[Essa]

The biggest overall or the biggest in your tank? My gabonensis might disagree with the former Very nice shots, I like the 4th the best. Perfect reflection in the eye. I agree with Ibn on the framing, a plain black frame or no frame might be more flattering to these pictures.

The biggest overall, though…
The Atyopsis moluccensis is 2-3 times bigger and larger than much of others fresh water shrimp specimens…:exclaim:
Now, I will share a few shots of Neocaridina sp.
and first is a photo for comparing its size to my finger…

Hey, Pals
is that kind of framing seems to You better... :question:

Much better framing, Hristo. And great looking shrimp, too.

Oh that's it you want a fight? I'll give you a fight According to petshrimp.com Atyopsis moluccensis reaches 8-12cm, while Atya gabonensis reaches over 15cm. I will concede however that you rarely hear of gabonensis's that are that large ( the biggest I've seen in person being my own at about 10cm). Whew...who knew i could be so argumentative, lol. Reguardless you have a beautiful specimen.

Anyways, I am envious of your camera, nice shots again. Those little speckled, glitterish patters on them always amaze me, it's just so unique. I think I need better glasses though as I accidentally skipped the part where you mentioned your finger and was wondering what a pretty snail('s shell) you had (yes, I've officially lost it, lol). I think the 2nd is the best in this set Hope theres more shots in the works.

Essa, I’m very glad always, seeing a Pal with nice sense of humor…

About Atyopsis, I knew only that they’re ones of the biggest freshwater shrimps…
And didn’t interesting how much specimens are they…
You’re absolutely right about the Atyopsis Gabonensis… !
Will be glad to see some Gabonensis photos of yours…

Great shots with wonderful detail. The first series are such a fab colour they almost look like the shrimp has a little light box inside it.:-D
