| General information about
Fairy Shrimp : |
These creatures hatched from eggs that sat through last summer and through the winter. They were forgotten, but appeared when water was added to an aquarium that had their eggs in it. From the same dirt, Clam Shrimp emerged as well.
There was no salt added to the water, although there might have been some in the dirt.
These creatures swim stomach-up.
