Hello!
Entomologist studying freshwater shrimp in USA
Also hobby gamedev making Snail Morning RPG with @ShoesBeDrawin
To get from about 10 non-archival vials of mixed freshwater crustaceans to this point - archival vials with decent temporary labels, sorted by taxonimic order as best as possible - took me six hours of work. So you must forgive how blindingly furious specimen neglect makes me
Male Eubranchipus shrimp (lower) thinking really hard about trying to mount a male from an entirely separate family of shrimp who is also three times his body length
Here is a mixed school of Dendrocephalus and Streptocephalus, which naturally coexist but can also be found separately. White circle is Dendro, black circle is Strepto
I tried to post a video of a Streptocephalus shrimp on tumblr but the algorithm detected my hand in the background as being probably a boob of some kind and automatically hid the video from normal search mode
I love my collection of shrimp and fish figurines but ultimately none of them are actually worth any money, they're just funny. However, people with actual money to speak of can easily dump 5k on the most fantastically beautiful porcelain crabs, frogs, bugs, etc
