Happy new Decade 2010!!!

New life has just begun after molting out old problems - message from a dwarf shrimp.

Over populations - blue shrimp

The population of my blue shrimps is growing at an alarming rate, depriving my sakura and snowball the much needed space to enjoy and breed and their shrimplets were not able to feed well too. Thus diminished the population of my more "expensive" shrimps.

I spend two hours netting them until 2am and eventually given away in dawn to someone who has space for them. My remaining shrimps are carefree and feeling homely now, though there are couple of blue shrimplets still being spotted.

Scene inside the forest

Temperature now at 26.8 degree in the late afternoon and I wonder what happened inside the darkest corner of my aquascape. I maneuvered my camera for a quick snap-shot, under the heavily covered driftwood, and found them "sleeping" at this hour.
