Hi guys just needed to share the most heavily BBA infested bamboo shrimp I have ever seen! In my tanks that is.

It even features two types of algae!

Hope you like it!

Hi all,
I hope they manage to shed succesfully soon!
Bizarre, I wonder about parasites. I know that if Shore Crabs (Carcinus maenus) are infected with a <"parasitic barnacle (Sacculina)"> and it stops them shedding their carapace, but I don't know if something similar infects Atyopsis.

Upon seeing this yesterday I thought I was hallucinating and momentarily considered to lay low on the dried flowers for a while :lol:

Joking aside, I hope the bamboo shrimp makes it! It must have not molted in ages - their normal cycle is 6-8 weeks.

Cheers,
Michael
