They're jumpers. If your betta doesn't have a proper lid the shrimp will quickly exit the tank.

Now if you really want to see shrimp jump you should see when I dump about 25 into my oscar tank......that gets amusing.

Oh i know they're jumpers, when i was pouring them out of a cup into the aquarium a couple jumped out..i only found one

That oughta smell nice in a little bit. Maybe get a cat in the house to clean it up.

i'm terribled when i see ghost shrimps jump. When iw as scopping htem out from a container to put htem in a tank one just out, landed on ME for a few seconds (enough tiem for me to scream and panic and smack it to the ground). ran awya and got my mom to scoop it back up

they're very hardy, i can tell you that righ tnow, i believe that shrimp is still alive somewhere in my tank
