Day 52, May 31, 2011

My new pets:

Yes, that is a shrimp... specifically, a cherry shrimp (due to its color, naturally), and this lady is familiarizing herself with her new surroundings - how do I know it's a her? Elementary, my dear Watson - if you look carefully, you'll see a yellowish substance by it's middle... and those happen to be shrimp eggs.

The focus is a bit off... so I can't say this is my best shot - but when you're trying ot capture life, it becomes difficult to do so without a tripod - and well, by the time I set things up, I may miss the opportunity to catch this shrimp. So I make so with what I have, and get what I can.

Oh yeah... that blue and red blur? That's a cardinal - so if you're familiar with said fish's size - that should give you an idea of just how small my shrimps are (I bought 10 of them). Hope they live long and multiply.
