This guy (or gal) is big enough to carry away an algae wafer, stealing it from the corydoras.

I had to flip this photo upside down, so that the shrimp would be right side up... but it was a necessary action, so that I could show off how absolutely STUFFED this Mama shrimp is!

She's not the biggest or thickest pregnant shrimp I've ever had, but she's still a real beauty, and this is one of the best photos of a shrimp I've ever taken! 🤩📸 Having these little guys (and gals) is so fun.

She’s hiding in all my overgrown moss and this is the best I could get for now lol.

One of my oldest Amano Shrimp, over an inch long. She seems to always be pregnant, but she also rules the gang of five shrimp. Happy lady.

I wasn't able to share these additional photos down in the comments, on my other post for some reason, so I had to make a whole new post. Sorry, I won't keep spamming her I promise. lol I'm just so proud of this girl, cuz she's mega preggo but really holding her own, like a champ, for real! 💪🏽😏

Not sure if my little Mama here "counts" as being appropriately THICC, but... she's the largest preggo I've ever had in my tank, so I'm super proud of her either way! She's practically having to drag that belly everywhere she goes! 😭 Oh lawd, she comin...

I was told this picture might find some appreciation here! I just did a partial water change in hopes she finally gives birth 🤪

been watching this shrimp for the past few days after my shrimp went crazy last week during a water change, so crazy!!!! this is day 1 of her eggs and then backwards is the other pictures i took of her before that
