If shrimp are put into the proper setting, where they don't feel threatened, they are swimming all over the tank. They clean algae off of plants and decor. All in all a cool little creature, very busy in a tank.
my girlfriend hates my fish but likes seeing all of the little shrimp in my shrimp tanks. i too think that they are much more interesting to watch
they are for sure more interesting than fish, but i like both. it's also fun to see the teeny babies.
Uh, yeah ... and then ...
Hey, just call this "movie" "The Good, the bad and the ugly", what can I say and still have some believe I am honest???

They will prevent you from buying fish which eat them (unless you wish to feed your fish "lobster".) They will prevent you from using meds on a complete tank which the shrimp are sensitive too (some invertebrates are HIGHLY sensitive to effective meds.) They will prevent you from effectively vacuuming the gravel/sand unless you like missing "shrimp pieces" or like a "PAIN IN THE ARSE!", etc., etc.

Which is why most people tend to set up smaller (< 10 gallon) tanks solely for inverts.
green shrimp are what i have, and i'll tell ya, their tough lil buggers! lol. had some survive a move in a tank with no water, hauled in the back of an open box truck, in less than +10 celcius weather. and here i thought i'd gotten them all out........
i love watching them dart around the leaves of my ginormous sword plant.
on a side note, shrimp are not a good choice for a tank that is not fully established yet.
