Hey! Thanks for allowing me to join! So here is a little about my tank and my newest problem or question rather....
I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 cory catfish, 1 St. Rasbora, and 7 amono shrimp that I just added to the tank yesturday. My fish have been in there for months/year+ anyways my amono shrimp are all but active. Clinging to the back of the filter and any effort of mine to get them to move from the back of the filter doesn’t work they just swim straight back there.
I have shrimp tubes, 3 fake plants, a castle, bridge,and even a cave that looks like sunken barrels(which is one of my favorite peices of deor).
So my question is will these shrimp ever move from the filter? I think 2-3 have gone to find other hiding places.... but at least 4-5 are hiding around/behind the filter..
I checked my levels last night.... (I do not have an ammonia tester) and the nitrite is 0 and nitrate is between 10-20 ph is 7.0-7.5....
So I really just need to know if this is normal and they just need time or if I should be concerned?
Thanks!!
