Have you seen David and Goliath? =)
A tiny snow white shrimplet on a piece of old sea mud rock. There looks to be some black marking on the head area which would make it a SSS grade BDS but we will have to wait and see if the markings become more prominent.
Many small shrimplets spotted in our black diamond shrimp tank. It will be awhile more before they grow up to a decent size.
One of the male black diamond shrimps in our all BDS only tank seen coming out of hiding.

Mirror reflection? nope... these are just two crystal red shrimps sharing a piece of food together!
These fellas get too little recognition sometimes! They help to keep our tanks clean so here is some lime light for them. The humble and hardworking nirite horned snail. It has been tested.. they can crawl across the length of a 2ft tank in a record time of 27 seconds! =)
Malayans! Although very cheap but they are actually a very interesting shrimp to watch! Plus did i mention that they breed ALOT! A berried female malayan shrimp in one of our planted tanks.
A rare opportunity to photo the shrimp so close. They rarely come to the front of the tank, these shrimps anyway. They're always hiding amongst the many rocks in the tank. Enjoy the close-er up shot.
You've been assassinated! The assasin snail crawling away from the king crown. They are actually best tank mate friends except when it comes time for sharing food. =)
A closer look at one of the scavenging shrimps. They never cease to stop exploring their surroundings.

Two crystal red shrimp crowns crossing paths in their new 2 ft tank. Recently rescaped and cycled tank, lava rocks tied with fissiden and pellia.
We also breed our own pool of "ninja" shrimps! Here we see a snow white shrimplet trying to escape out of the tank by climbing up the suction cup. Unfortunately for him, his escapade ended there =)
A baby assassin snail sharing a meal with a baby shrimplet.
Two handome looking crowns going to a new owner soon. They look ready to explore their new tank already!

 This picture shows a berried malayan shrimp female grazing on some pellia in one of our planted tanks.



Shrimplets galore!
We picture two black diamond shrimps here sharing a piece of food. The one on the left is a SS grade hinomaru (no entry sign) and the one on the right is a SSS mosura grade. Shrimps rarely like to share their food unless if it is too big for them to "take away".
Spot the shrimplet! A two day old SSS grade shrimplet. It will probably take another month or two for it to grow up and maybe it would be on sale!
This pair of black diamond shrimps SSS grade, pictured in a breeder box to show how we at Shrimps Online perform a selective breeding process. For more details, check out the "shrimp breeding tips" page.

A closer view. Flora includes fissiden tied onto the "tree trunk", pellia fresh water seaweed at the foreground, mini pellia tied onto rocks, mini taiwan moss tied onto wood and rocks.










The team also assembled this nano 1 feet cube setup with some low maintenance and requirement plants. Simple but beautiful to watch!
