So it's day 34 of a little batch I started last month.... about 100 went in, and 40 remain today. 4 have morphed and are in fresh water already cleaning algae from a few leaves I put in there. This was the first guy to begin the transformation.... obviously this isn't the whole process of morphing as that happens over the course of 24 hours and I don't have the equipment to do a time lapse (maybe one day) but in this video you will see the very final stages. Flippers going turbo, eyes popping out & pincers forming!

Sorry for crappy video quality, there's a few moments in the video where focus is clear enough to see what's going on.

I have a new batch of around 3000 larva on the go since the 4th of September - so hopefully next month I'll have at least 500 shrimp, if not more!
 
The little slither type thing centre picture on the glass ?
