Crustacean Pics

I once had a crayfish, I have brineshrimp, and copepods and amphipods.

The Sirens temperature is set at 22c, so not that high, they look more transparent than C. crangon, they look like the Ghost Shrimp in this picture http/naturalaquariums.com/plantedtank/051101.JPG

So are they still going strong now? Look anything like these? Linky 1. Linky 2.

Not that this species is native to the UK, but it's apparently widespread in mainland Europe and it's the closest I can find .

Theyre still doing great, the Sirens dont even seem to be interested in them (so i'll also be adding some Cherry Shrimp in with them) one or two has shed theyre exoskeleton, and are a big larger now, the largest around 3.5cm-4cm.

They look more like the one in the second link, only more transparent, its a shame my camera's broken or I could have got pictures, i'll try to get a picture with a mobile phone, but it will probably be poor quality.

The River Shrimp in my Sirens aquarium are still doing great, they are very active and seem healthy.

Today I bought from my lfs a Vampire Shrimp (A. gabonensis) I'd only seen pictures of them before today, they are very impressive looking, i'll hopefully be getting more in a couple of weeks, Im keeping it with my Indian Apple Snails, I arent able to get any pictures at the moment though.
