Hippoherder Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I finally got my Black Tahatian Moon Sand in my tank under LED light. I transfered 3 fish from a tank over run with hornwart. The 3 fish were fast and the tank got quite a stir. I am looking in the tank and it appears that I grabbed a fry shrimp, very small and would never have seen it if not for the black sand and led lights. Just beyond that I see these tiny white specs that could fit on the head of a pin resting then darting around the bottom...what in the world could they be? The 3 fish are Pseudomugil gertrudae Eubenangee Swamp. Unless they are even smaller shrimp fry I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 My guess is that they're either baby shrimp or copepods from the planted tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
