bamboo shrimp scavenging [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

One of the purple spot gobies, this is the floorfish I posted a thread about, still hasn't regained all its color, but I'm amazed its alive.

Not sure what I did to make the water look so cloudy in the last shot, although that tank is pretty scratched up. slowly but surely my photos are improving a bit, now i just need a little nicer camera.

Yeah NG, bamboo shrimp are as far as I know the largest commonly available FW shrimp in the hobby.

Here's the link to the AC profile on them [Only Registered Users Can See Links.] It says they get to 4-5", but all of them that I have had have topped out around 3". I love them in just about any community tank, they're filter feeders, so they don't bother anything they just wave their fans around and it looks cool.

Floorfish died, hes jumped out a lot of times now :scry: he survived until the 4th time, until he decided to jump into the really dusty part of my room, this time I couldn't revive him. I'm gonna be rehoming the gobys and changing my setup a bunch in their tank. Here's a pic of one of the other inhabitants I can never find. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]
At least I know the eels aren't on the floor, but they love to uproot plants, that anubias was well under the substrate before this guy came along! and I know it looks like he's going after an oto, but my peacock eels always leave them alone.

The blurs that I can't get out of the pic easily are bad scratches in the tank. I have mainly acrylics, but I really hate how they scratch.

Anyone wanna trade a nice glass tank for a scratchy acrylic one? willing to trade a buncha size tanks!
