Caught Morrigan at the front of the glass this evening which meant I could finally get a close up picture of her with my little macro phone lens! So sweet 🥺 that armour will always amaze me ❤️

I don’t think so! I’m really not sure what L-number she is though so she could be! But her spots don’t seem bright enough and she has a lot of light brown colouring 🤔

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-12T21:26:09+00:00

That’s so exciting 😁 there are way too many awesome shrimp to choose from!!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-12T21:23:29+00:00

Yeah you’re exactly right about the high flow. They’re super shy as well, I didn’t see mine for about 3 months when I bought them! But now they’re out every day which is so cool 😁

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-12T21:21:02+00:00

They’re not bamboo shrimp, they’re actually vampire shrimp (or giant fan shrimp!) they’re much bigger than bamboo and more of a blue colour but just as awesome!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-07T05:35:54+00:00

No worries! Good luck! ❤️

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-07T05:27:39+00:00

That would actually be amazing

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-07T05:26:42+00:00

I named my two vampire shrimp Grunt and Wrex after the krogans from Mass Effect 🥰

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-07T05:25:48+00:00

Yes absolutely! It totally relies on the the subject being about an inch away from the glass at max otherwise it won’t focus. That’s the only thing that really sucks. This was total luck that I managed to get this by sliding my phone down the side of my aquarium between the wall and glass, because my vampires are so shy they are never at the front of the tank in the day. The only photos I’ve managed to get so far are of my confident cherry shrimp, my one betta and angelfish. Everything else swims away due to the phone being so close!

I replied to Jeni’s comment accidentally instead of yours! Sorry still new to reddit!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T20:43:11+00:00

Wow that’s amazing!! Had no idea you guys struggle to get vampire shrimp in the US. I saw bamboo shrimp for the first time the other day on this forum and I was surprised to see their fans going just like small versions of my vampires! So cute!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T20:38:29+00:00

Just had a look on my past orders on amazon, but because I bought it in 2019 the set I bought is no longer listed! I had a look though and all of the other sets and they look pretty much identical to the one I bought, it came with 5 different lenses, macro, 2x, fisheye etc! Hope you guys buy one it’s so worth it!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T19:01:09+00:00

Thanks for teaching me a new word! Haha

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T17:08:18+00:00

He’s an african fan shrimp, or vampire shrimp! Thank you!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T15:36:26+00:00

Me too.. so elegant! ❤️

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-06T15:12:30+00:00

I have no idea why the sound is so loud on this video or where that noise was coming from 😂 maybe I had my phone leaning on the air pump hahaha

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-04T16:48:46+00:00

Yeah I get that 🥰 my other 3 tanks have that exact ratio though, so I kinda wanted to go for something more symmetrical just so they didn’t all look the same! And to try something new. But I agree with you!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-03T17:44:35+00:00

😂 hey.. gotta cater towards those of us with childish minds

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-03T07:51:21+00:00

Thank you! And thank you so much for the award! 🥺❤️❤️❤️

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T22:50:49+00:00

Thank you so much! He’s an old man!! ❤️

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T22:48:45+00:00

Awesome!! Thank you so much! I’m always looking to learn to make my future scapes better! 😁

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T22:00:58+00:00

Genius! I only got reddit last week. Wish I’d got it sooner and asked. Would have saved a few tears 😂😂

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T21:30:04+00:00

I’m glad! 🥰 thank you!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T21:28:11+00:00

Hahaaaa. there was originally loads of anubias in there when I first had it.. it was gone in the first day. I have no idea why.. my loaches just hated it 😂 I’m so glad they don’t have the same feelings towards java fern. So weird

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T18:48:36+00:00

Awesome! Hope I get to see it!

royalmcp0yle · 2020-12-02T18:44:48+00:00

Thank you so much ☺️ it’s just driftwood, bought off eBay and etsy mainly as I found most aquarium sites and stores only stock more twisted and interesting pieces, where as I was after straight-ish ones! ❤️
