	My little Macro
Gone_Troppo Enthusiast Posts: 285 Kudos: 196 Registered: 13-Mar-2007	I picked up this little guy up a few weeks ago and put him in my 10g tank. Hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks so I assumed that he had become fish food. Last night he reappeared. I'm not certain of the species, but leaning towards juvenile Macrobrachium bullatum. At the moment he is a little under an inch in length but if I am correct on the ID I'd expect him to triple in size in the not too distant future and for his claws to bulk up a little more. G_T Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

When I bought my Cherry Red Shrimps they hid for at least one week *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

He does look very much like the M. bullatum pics on on Aquagreen, i'm very interested in how he's going to grow up For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
