Cherry Shrimp Annoying Fish?

[Ethan040]

I put about 15 cherry shrimp in my tank yesterday at first they seemed to be hiding only 2-3 where out and about but now the lights are off there all flying all over... do you think there annoying my fish? ive got 8 young guppys/platys in the tank with them and the tank size is 10 gallons.

No they wont be. I have many cherrys with endler fry and they dont bother them, if anything the endlers would be more inclinded to snack on very small shrimplets. When you say "flying about" do you mean they are swimming about midwater? This is usually a sign of stressed shrimp.

Just swimming from one plant to another at night it was there first night in the tank though and it was the first night for my cory and he was investigating everything so could have been bothering them.
