Hey All,

Not been so active in posting a thread or update so after quite a time posting some updates -

I was not a fan of the taibee shrimps but eventually gave up and joined the band!

Around 1 month back sourced some low-mid grade Blue Bolts from Taiwan, they were from a champion breeder and thought of keeping them.

So here are some crappy mobile images of them, now a days I am too lazy to do take out the main camera :)

Thank you Rajiv Ji :)

Nandi, it is easy to keep them. Dont go for a smaller tank and keep patience while setting and cycling it. Most work will be done.
