Bro mine just leave them alone and already 3 time got shrimplet in just 4 mths.My tank is 4 ft using overflow filter and 4 mths no water change.

Big tank is easier to maintain and the water perimeters doesn't change much, thus your tank is still fine w/o water change. But for smaller tanks, the challenge goes higher with smaller tanks

Gathering of a few shrimps....blue shrimp color faded cos just introduced today as well....together with 1 of my preg cherry mama

That's not a casual setup in my opinion , is's a very nice setup done with passion !

bro ur cam very clear leh.. have alot of shrimplet in my tank.. bu hw i take also cant really see them that clearly.. btw ur shrimplet is hw big in actual size? 2-3mm?

[LostBoI]

there are a few factors to taking clear photos .... for shrimplets this small its very important that your camera have good "macro" ability icon on the camera as per my attached picture below.



my camera have a "super macro" feature with the ability to take subject as close as 1cm distance.

secondly, you need to make sure your tank glass is clear as dust on the tank glass will affect the autofocus feature on most camera.

lastly, stability is important when taking subject this small...its recommended that you rest your camera on a stable object or tripod when shooting.

i hope this tips can help u out. i am not pro and only using a standard compact camera but i can take fairly decent macro shots

btw this shrimplet is about 3mm now
