Unfortunately, no. :P They mostly looked like bitsy floating specks. If you looked closely, you could see that they were super-miniature shrimp.

It was cool this one time when some of them were pregnant, and they had these tiny little bellies with black specks in them. At least, I think they were pregnant. Or do they just carry eggs that are fertilized externally? Whatever. It was neat!

I think they carry eggs internally because I remember mine started mating and I was like "Stop it! Stop it you're siblings!!!!!!!"
