Wee update, I now can confirm I have 3 new Corydorus young in the main tank. These photos are shot at macro mode on my phone.
As hes about the size of the tip of your pinky finger (from 2nd knuckle to fingertip) compared to the adult size of 2-3" long of this variety of the Cory genus.
The "pebbles" you can see is the sand substrate!
(honest!)
To give you a sense of scale the cherry red shrimp (looking like a female) is approx. 2cm long and my new additions are "Golden Bee" Shrimp from Asia and much smaller.
Also got a half dozen black banded "Bumble Bee" shrimp but they quite shy still and don't come out to the foreground like the other species, they are approx. same size as the Cherries.
Also apologies for the all the sticky white gunk in the 2nd shot, fooking Endlers are spawning yet again and its all the males surplus jizz.......thank fook I don't use a manual water syphon anymore LOL! ewww deerty gits.
Having to syphon the substrate & extract 15% of the water daily atm........
Gotta love Macro mode
Next own projects into nano-tank aquascaping,, refusing to go CO2 injection though, ill stick to my trusted feeding/lighting cycles (Sea Life Easy-Carbo & Profito plant foods, 8-10 hour lighting a day dependant on PAR of lighting) going LED lights this time.
Going 40L and aquascaping with a twist, going biotope for Sulwesi Shrimp (from Indonesia).
