How convenient to see that she is berried ;-)
Sharing Randy's shrimping experience. ShrimpWaterCube or Shrimp Water Cube is the name I use in some publications and photos.

Crystal White Shrimp
From pictures on internet, they look like snowwhite. But after I see them in person, they do look more like crystal red shrimp with all colour removed. You can see what would be the red no-entry marking on the back except it's like white. The best description is an albino CRS.
BTOE
Got two of these yesterday, their colour put my OEBT, even the best ones, to shame !! In person they look black, but if you get a close look they look deeeeeeep blue. Very nice. Now I wish I had gotten more than two.

Finally...
These babies are more visible now and I even got a chance to take a few pictures. It's about 10 days after the drop, and they seem to grow very slow comparing to candy canes.

My triple split 40G
See the tank picture and design on my GTAA post below.
Link to GTAA thread.
Equipment:
40G Breeder tank x 1
Glass divider x 2
Tank lids (two pieces) x 1
Coralife 36" Dual T5NO light (6500K x 1, 6700K x1)
Filtration:
- Fluval 205 x 1 (connected to DIY UGF)
- Fluval slim 15 HOB x 2
Air: part of the output from a Tetra 100. (3 x airstones)
Substrate: 16L of Akadama, medium grain.
Opinions,
- Large amount of water in tank, water very stable.
- Space saving (comparing to 3 individual tanks)
- Water is pretty leveled (sec1 is about 1cm higher than sec2, sec2 1cm higher than sec3) with very good water exchange (tested).
Issues:
- Mistake using the medium grain Akadama, I wish I had at least use 1.25" of smaller grain substrate. The problem with this is that baby shrimps can actually "easily" get to the next section easily. The first CRS dropped the babies in this tank from sec3, and I ended up seeing at least 1 in sec1, 4 or 5 in sec2 LOL
