    Freshwater prawns don't require brackish water, heck; we have freshwater prawns in the concrete irrigation canals in central California and prawns are often cultivated in the rice paddies in central and northern California.
    Those mosquito fish were likely decimating any freshly hatched prawn larva. If you want the prawns to breed successfully, they'll need cover of some sort for the larva to hide in.

      Use to make PVC frames with 1/4 in mesh spaced about 2 or 3 inches part for cover for the fry. This was at a deer lease and we’d feed the prawns the scraps from what ever game was taken. Scoop a few out for use in the bass pond. Worked like gang busters. Minnow traps to keep the mosquito fish at bay.

    You should reach out to native habitat project (guy is located in Alabama I think). He is really passionate about restoring native prairies and wildlife populations. Since you like doing experiments and such, you could maybe do a small plot of native, no mow prairie and see how different it is than planting the food plots for your deer and wildlife.

    Those two falcons are definitely Kestrels. You can tell by the bluish grey on their wings. They are tiny falcons that basically only eat small song birds or insects. We have a few at are sanctuary. Super cool little birds. They're like 100ish grams so they are tiny. The males have more bluish grey so you can tell which one is which. Also the females are slightly bigger than the males, like most raptors. Super cool to see though. Love the natural wildlife videos! Keep it up!

    The birds you saw are kestrels they just have a thing known as ocelli which give them those false eyes on the back of their heads. The feet have different colors that can vary based on location, diet, sex, age and genetics

      It is not genetics or location that determines foot color. the feet color varies based on DIET and age. Younger birds are not able to build up extra beta carotene which is what makes the feet go from yellow -> orange -> a very reddish shade of orange.

    I'm a longtime birder: Defiantly a Kestral, unless, the other choice would be a "Sparrow Hawk". Peregrins are my favorite bird, as well as Cooper's Hawks, found in most neiborhoods across the nation. Both are larger than Kestral's. the Kestral's (or maybe sparrow hawks?) shown here are a breeding pair and fully grown. I call the hawks "Ghostbirds" because if you see them they're sure to disappear before your eyes, lol. I even named my bass boat the Ghostbird, lol

      very likely correct.

    Definitely an American Kestrel, they have the eyeball pattern on the back of their head, and they are muchhh smaller. They are the smallest falcons. Also Perregrines wouldn't be eating bugs, they are after bigger game, like mice, rabbits and similar sized mammals

    Those particular prawns need brackish water for the first larval stages of their life. Once the molt to a post larval stage they live entirely in fresh water. So more than likely won’t hatch, but there is always exceptions.
    Also, I vote to put tiger into the aquascape pond and power feed him to be a monster. 😂

      They will hatch, they will die after a couple days though. Orange eggs will turn brown three days before release. They need 14 ppm salinity to develop

      Maybe he should establish a nursery tank with brackish water. When he traps females with eggs he can drop them in there until the eggs release and raise the larvae until he can put them back in the pond.

      @@arttrumbo9496 it’s a good idea, the trouble is the only places these shrimp can overwinter in the US is south Florida and Hawaii. So he would need heaters, and a recirculating system to keep an eye on them for when they are close to hatching, then you have to separate the larvae from the freshwater and move them to brackish because the adult shrimp can’t tolerate it for very long. It’s a lot of work when you can have the convenience of buying thousands of larvae for a couple hundred dollars

    The eggs need brackish water to survive and hatch but the prawns don't need brackish water to spawn. You could make a low saline hatchery with trofs and tubs. Looks like its pretty easy to hatch them.

    On the prawns, the females carry the fertilized eggs on their body till they hatch, I'm almost sure that is what you have. But the larval stages have to live in brackish water to develop.
    As to the kestrels they are far too small to be peregrines, assuming that is a standard sized pallet. American kestrels are roughly 8 to 10 in long, all female raptors are bigger than the males. Peregrines are more like a foot to 20 inches with females being usually visibly much larger than the male. The diet is diagnostic as well, adult peregrines eat birds not insects. Kestrels are the species that catch and eat insects. Peregrines are spectacular hunters often stooping onto flying birds from hundreds of feet in the air. You'd be seeing them eating sparrows and other songbirds not dragonflies.
