The Sea Creature

Taken at the Tsukiji Fish market in Tokyo. Tsukiji market is the biggest fish and vegetable market in the world.

You can have a look into the trip report of Japan here. 

Shrimp or Prawn?
There is often confusion regarding the difference between a shrimp and a prawn. In shrimps the side plate of the second segment of the abdomen overlaps the segments in front and behind. In Prawns all the abdominal side plates overlapping tile-like from the front.
Most likely this photo is of a shrimp.

Rainbow Shrimp(green)

This little beauty is captured in my planted aquarium. I had 4 at the beginning, now I have almost hundreds of them breeding happily.
