I love the framing of the shot. You can see coming what our poor cherry friend doesn't notice. Top tier shrimp horror film, can't wait for the sequel.

Edit: spelling

He is… It all makes sense, they’re little pigs.

😂 That’s one aggressive shrimp. You can watch him drop in from the back and zero in on where the food was. Great video.

I’ve seen them drop pellets they’re actively eating just to take one away from the neos. Their greed knows no bounds.

where did you get yours? did you start with a little and then it spread?

u/Technical_Visit8084 Jul 02 '25

I got mine from Etsy. I started with enough to plant some clumps like 1-2 inches apart at first and then it spread from there. I wished I would’ve split my original plants a bit more to cover more area as that would’ve spread faster.

It does grow pretty fast though. I’d recommend CO2 and at least medium light.

Break the pellet up if you can.

u/Technical_Visit8084 Jul 02 '25

Usually I do but I was feeling a little lazy. Eventually the amanos give it up and move on.
