Ghost shrimp

[ninjaish]

I have quite a few of them. lately i have noticed they are not scrounging the bottom anymore... they keep swimming up....and down the sides of my tank... i dont have any algea or anything... is this normal?

are they hungry? Are your parameters ok?

 

[ninjaish]

i doubt they are hungry... they do that while they eat... and the paramiters are fine. I just dont understand what is on their mind lol. could it possibly be that i moved my desk next to the tank which is where my comp is and i am sitting here all the time and they just want attention?

Sounds like they are just playing.

My ghosties are always swimming around. From time to time I even catch them following Jaws (cherry barb) around. No biggie...perfectly normal.

my ghost shrimp swims all over the tank. Up and down it, climbs all over decorations. Rarely does he just sit at the bottom of the tank.

Yep, that's normal, well at least mine does that a lot. Normally he's scrambling around on the bottom, but a lot of times hes swimming around like yours is
