Hey guys, glad to see the boards are back.
Anyways, a few days ago I picked up 4 caridina japonica from my LFS. That day when I acclimated and put them in the tank, they went into hiding towards the back behind the heater, I assumed they were just scared and would get used to their surroundings. The next morning when I checked on them I could only find 2, My guess was the other 2 had died somehow. The 2 that I could find continued to hide behind the heater not really doing much of anything.
Then yesterday, one of them molted and got a little bit more active, and the strange thing is, once he molted I could find all 4 of the shrimp that I purchased, weird. But now all of them are still hiding and it sucks because I was counting on these guys to help me with the a;gae problem that's been choking my plants.
I used to have a ghost shrimp in the tank which had been eating my Glow Light Tetras (I had no idea about it). Could it be that the glow lights see any shrimp as a threat and will attack it? Any info on keeping Amano shrimps happy would be helpfull.
