:D I just added 8 feeder shrimp to my 10G. They are so much fun to watch! I really wanted a crayfish, but in my tank of guppies, snails, and scissortails, this is my alternative. Rather, the only alternative. They are beautiful and fun to watch swim around. They almost look like they are walking on air! I have two bigger ones that are actually bigger than my guppies. I love to try and locate them in my tank! They will swim up the side of the glass and it is so cute!

Here is how hard they can be to see:

Great pics! Ghost shrimp are a lot of fun. My wife and I used to make a game out of trying to find them each night. We'd notice though that they would slowly disappear. Good fun for two weeks, though. LoL! I might try them again if I ever get some peaceful fish.

I am happy to say, that I have a very peaceful tank. My shrimp have actually started killing off my baby snail problem. They seem to enjoy ramshorns. YEAH! I was getting too many. I like the trumpets and the shrimp seem to leave them be. I think it is because they have the hardest shell of any of the snails. I can't believe I got those good pics, so thanks for noticing. :D
