I have ghosts too, definitely active. I love watching them!

The silver Molly I have likes swimming by the shrimp and making them chase him! So amusing to watch after a long day of work. 33 cents per shrimp. Couldn't pass it up.

 

[00youknowit00]

Mine act like they're HUGE! Its great to watch!

 

[Ceej]

I have one that's an inch long and he acts tougher than he us. The others are still being timid. They're probably 1/2 an inch. Hope they know the Molly is just playing and won't eat them for dinner!

Mine stand on their back legs like a bear and fight my corys for an algae wafer

 

[Ceej]

And the corys take that kind of treatment? Lol its a catfish vs shrimp. I can't believe the ghost shrimp have enough guts to try and get a nibble. Are the corys nice enough to share? Lol.

 

[00youknowit00]

They share to an extent, haha but the shrimp will come at them like 6 at a time, its like they're a gang, its great to watch!

 

[Ceej]

Ahh!! I'm gonna have to go buy some and try it tomorrow. All fish like algae to an extent, so a wafer wouldn't harm mollies or guppies, right?

 

[00youknowit00]

Yeah they won't hurt them, my mollies will try and eat them, but eventually give up. I've actually gone to feeding wafers after lights out for that reason.

 

[Ceej]

Just so the shrimp can eat too and not depend on leftover flakes?

 

[00youknowit00]

Yeah, it makes it easier for my shrimp and corys to eat, since they don't have to contend with the mollies.

 

[Ceej]

Gotcha. I'm gonna have to try wafers now!

 

[Ceej]

He thinks he's King of the Aquarium haha.

 

[00youknowit00]

Haha! Get pictures when they pick it up and carry it off!!

 

[Ceej]

Will do! Haha.

 

[redsea]

Very cool critters!

I'm dying to finish my cycle so I can get a glass shrimp. I saw a different type of shrimp the other day, a bit bigger, and they are so cute just busting their butts in along the bottom.
