Baby Shrimp.. I Think

[shelaghfishface]

cant possibly get a picture as there so small, was stood looking into the tank at feeding time and thought why are there only a few grains of sand blowing about??
then realised they were shrimp like, in there movements at least, but sooooo small
in the tank are
cherry shrimp
tigers
amano

have no idea which they could possibly be.. have you?

anything i should do to protect them? they seem to be in and out of a crack in a piece of bogwood, and catching them would be impossible, but if i need to i will

re they floating around in the water coloumb? If so they are amano shrimp zoes, and will die if not moved into salt water.

If they are just like very tiny shrimp and are walking around, they are one of your other two species, most likely cherry shrimp since they are far more prolific.

Dont need to do anything special for them, they will find enough food in the tank already .

yeah they are doing just what normal shrimp do , walking then taking off... oh if they are amano, theres no way i could save them, i would never catch them in that lot and would prob lose them anyway as they are so small, maybe ive lost more when cleaning the filter 2 days ago too

they are def walking about on the wood, then swimming off

forgot to ask, will they eat each other?

They'll cannibalize the body if one dies, but they won't actively seek to eat one another.
