Fish eat the shrimp-like organisms.

Rice Paddy

Rice paddies are cultivated ecosystems in Malaysia.
Paddy fields are flooded at certain times of the year.
Algae grow in the shallow water and on the muddy sides.
Fish, frogs, and dragonflies utilize the flooded areas.
Shallow water temperatures fluctuate quickly.
