What is it climbing on?

Looks like an artifical/fake bit of wood.

Good guess, that is exactly what they are on, a fake piece of wood. That was before I discovered real hardwood that sinks. (forgot the name of the stuff)

what does anyone else think of algae shrimps ever had problems with them? i've never kept any before but think would look pretty cool in my tank alongside my bamboo's

any advice?

I had a few amano shrimps in my 20G before I got my bamboo shrimp. They are at their best when kept in groups. They are great algae eaters as well. Never kept amanos and bamboos togetherr before though.

I have a 30 gallon (US) long planted aquarium that I house 12 "bamboo shrimp" (Atyopsis moluccensis), 6 Amano shrimp (Caridina japonica), around 100 snowball shrimp, around 30 dwarf Cajun crayfish, 9 pencilfish, and 3 otocinclus. It's filtered with an Eheim 2213 and gets added water current from a Maxi-Jet 600 powerhead. The tank's been running for over a year now.
