    Default Pics of my Harliquin Shrimp

    Thought you guys would like to see my newest addition to the family, I've had such an outbreak of those little acro stars that I borrowed him from a friend.

    Those guys are just sooooo cool looking.... good pics!

    Though we couldn't keep one, think our blue linckia is too happy where he's living now to be lunch
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    extremely cool pics.

    how do they act in the tank? as friendly as a cleaner shrimp or do they tend to knock things over or hide? and what lighting and camera for the pics? I just got a cannon A510 and would like to be able to take some like that.
    We can\'t stop here. This is bat country!

    Hi Dan, They are great in a tank, just like cleaner shrimp. They tend to be shy at first but he comes out quite a bit now that he knows his way around the tank. As far as lighting when taking pictures, I set my camera to manual and the fastest speed with the daylight setting , no flash.

    well, what about lighting inside the tank?

    Looks like you have a black light in there, hense the cool glow.

    I'm assuming that if you have one regular tank light, you can have one black light as well?

    As long as he has food, which is star fish, he should last a long time.
    He has been in my tank since May, and now I rarely see any acro stars.
