![]() You can pick up those night viewing lights for reptiles. I use them on my tank to see my clown loaches. You can use them if you dont like the moon lights they are pretty bright on a small tank. |

![]() I guess I take the tuff love aproach with my shrimp. If they want food they'll have to come out and get it, I haven't lost one to starvation yet. I usualy only get to view mine at night too.

![]() I have 3 peppermint shrimp that always hide under the same rock all day long, they sometimes get brave enough to venture out to grab a morsel of food at feedings, but otherwise they stay put as long as the lights are on. Once the lights are off though, they are all over the rockwork looking for snacks.

![]() Im very happy that I got a pair of skunk cleaners...
They are always out in the open and cruising the rock work. Everytime I have my hand in the tank doing anything, they scoot over and jump on it. It seems to be a favorite of theirs hitching a ride while im replacing that frag that got knocked over. ![]() I would never not have these guys in my tank!! ![]() |

![]() I feel the same way. And actually after having 4 (and having had pairs in the past), I'd never not have a small group. It's really quite neat to watch these guys. For bugs, they have very defined social group structures.

![]() ![]() I have had similar findings with shrimp. I have found Skunk Cleaners to be the least reclusive. I have a Golden Coral Banded Shrimp (Stenopus zanzibaricus) that I never see unless I look behind the rocks through the side of the tank. ![]()
