Midterm (break) Update

A well deserved 6 days of no official lessons for most of us, the midterm break came and went... whether you spent the break fruitfully or not, let's move on and work hard in the second half of the semester!

Craving for some RH Fish Tank updates?

MIA; Missing In Action?
Having not seen the Mosquito Shrimp, BumbleBee Goby and the Candy-Striped Goby for two months already, i have decided to classify them "MIA, assumed dead". Our heartfelt goodbyes to them for their presence will be missed. (click the names above to see their pictures)

Green Shot
I was finally able to take decent shot of the
Neon Green Shrimp (Neocaridina cf. Babaulti)
sitting atop a Crispatula leaf. After many many clicks of the shutter and numerous attempts to enhance the picture with Photoshop, i managed to find a nice one (although i captured it on camera while it was defacating). Try taking photos of them who won't listen to your instructions to keep still, it ain't easy!

Although the Neon Green Shrimp doesn't look totally green, there is usually at least a slight tinge of green, and you will be able to differentiate the Neon Green Shrimp from the Malayan Shrimps
(see Malayan Shrimp picture) by looking at the back: The Malayan Shrimp has a distinct off-white strip/patch in the middle running from the head down to the tail, whereas the Neon Green Shrimp doesn't have such a strip/patch.

New Fishes will be added soon!
I am currently raising some fish babies in my personal fish tank, and once they are old/big enough I will introduce them into the RH Fish Tank. This will take 3 to 4 more weeks...
What fishes are they and how do they look like? You'll have to wait and see!
Keep a lookout for these new (and colourful) additions!
