I just got 6 amano shrimp

Well let me tell you my crowntail was just staring at them for about 2 hours when i put them in!
He didn't nip them but he did chase them around for a while. He seems to have come to the conclusion they are not meant to feed him, but rather to clean up after him!

They are so active. They keep walking on the sand, looking for food. I put in a shrimp pellet in there for them. They did eat a part of it but I guess they'll finish it off later!

I was afraid they'd be like the 2 i aldready have in my 20 gallon

My 2 shrimp in my 20 gallon just hide all day. Now I have no clue where they are because they both shed this week.

I also added a few plants for my 5 gallon. It looks much more colorful now!


Check out pics of my tank!

Congrats on the shrimps! I just put some in my planted community tank, and I don't think i'll ever see them again...let's just say it's a tad overgrown. But come on yvez, you gotta show us some pics now!!

I paid 2,99$ CDN each. In fact, I paid 15$ for 6, so I got one free...
I've seen them sale for up to 4$ each though


My gold nugget is dead!
I was just taking pics of him a few minutes ago and he was fine.
And now I go back and he's dead !!!

my water params are fine, as they have been for many weeks now. All the other fish are fine! I got glowlights last week that had a bit of finrot and their fins are growing back.

I wonder what could've hapenned
