  1. This is a very captivating photo, Albert. I think normally don't envision a family scene or anything touching or emotional when thinking of shrimps, but this photo shows otherwise, just a family trying to survive. Posted 8 years ago
    1. Thanks for your appreciation, Ferdy :)
      I think Shrimps in general are not known to be keeping together in pairs and help to look after the female while she broods the eggs. This was just probably a co-incidence and I just thought it would be an apt description of the scene :D
