    Ben TB selling at $1.50 but better call to check for stock.

    Subzero and I got 5pc each this week.

    Cute but hard to spot once it is in the tank, it seems to be able to vary the splotches so when it is on the gravel, it takes on a brownish tone and is very well camouflaged.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Saw this shrimp at C328 a week back.
    The brown loach with circular markings sold at both C328 and Petmark is very special too...

    Hey DEA, your macro shot is very clear. Got to get a good camera soon. The shape of that shrimp is exactly like Ghost shrimp except it has white spot all over.

    thank you, thank you ^ _ ^

    i'm using sony f505v, but i'm told the F707 is much better
    consider that most good digital cameras are cheaper and have cheaper storage media than sony
    but if you're using the sony series of digital products they're the way to go

    personally i don't find the shrimp pic very good cos i can't print out the thing in 8R for a sharp pic

    as for settings, i just use the macro setting, f2.8, 1/30 exposure

    oh, and lots of luck waiting for the guy to stay still
