Fire Red Shrimps on the rise (again)

Shrimp feeding and noticed a steady increase in my Fire Red population again.  Patient not only pays off and I strongly believe increase in population is attributed to the blooming flora inside my 2ft tank.

Hope is in the air and I miss those days when I have hundreds of FR that fascinated many people.
Occassionally I still bring out the old photo of yester-years to boast..

The massive shrimps shown in the last photo are the ancestor of  shrimps in the first two photos. I have not purchased any new batch when they were down to the last 50 pcs after transfering to the 2ft tank. Now they are breeding in more again.
