Anyone? Anyone?

I've looked all over the tank and just can't seem to find them.

they're not shrimp, they're salmon!!!! :rofl:

oooooooooo...a new species....the salmon shrimp! I like it!! :)

I've always caught one or two on the filter, but never seen this many up there. It's quite funny I must say.
 
Thanks much. You saved me the trouble of asking if it's normal for shrimp to do that. I got some from Mgamer20o0, and this morning one had crawled into my AC 70 intake, and another was hanging on to one of the lips on the TF 60, a lot like yours are doing. The one that crawled into the intake? I turned off the filter, got him out, just to see him swim back up and climb back in. He's either going to get a work out while he's eating, or he'll get beaten up by the impeller, I guess. Any advice on what size sponges I should get for an AC 70 intake and a Top Fin 60 intake?
 
authmal, just buy a box of the Aquaclear brand sponges and cut them down so they are a bit bigger cube than the end of your filter intake. bore a hole down one side not quite all the way through (about 3/4 of the way) and shove it on the intake.
 
Checked the tank before turning the lights out...they are starting to accumilate on the filter again. :) There were 10 at lights out. Wonder what it will be like when I get home? Too funny.
