More Shrimps

The shrimps are doing well and with the reduction of the snails (I don't think there are more than 1 or 2 left!) the bottom of the tan hasn't been so tidy as it was, so I've added a couple of new shrimps.

At the moment, they are keeping themselves to themselves and hiding together under the bogwood. I expect the cave where the other pair hide is to scary for them - it's shared by the 2 catfish and the loach! They are only about 2cm long - so over what the loach will count as a mouthful when fully grown, but they look so small compared to the other 2 shrimps, which are actually only 2.5cm & 4cm each. But the narrower body shape makes them look a lot smaller.

Hoping they will thrive and maybe we're starting to form a community - who knows, get enough and they might breed...
