I LOVE it!!!

I love it when I stick my hand in my tank (sort of near the surface) and my cherry shrimp swim on it. They feel so funny with their little arms combing for food.

I have had 4 on one hand before, it was great!

Do your cherry shrimp do this? My cherry shrimp are very “tame”.

My Neon tetras are very tame as well. They will swim into my hand, or between my fingers during feeding time. They have nothing to fear of me, because I have not shown them any harm.

When I vacuum my tetra tank all the tetra will gather around the vacuum and try and eat the food particles going up the tube. It is funny to watch, they are not frighten at all.

My neon tetras think all of the poop is food, lol.

I used to have Neons and they did the same thing!! They would take the poop into their mouth, "swish" it around for a bit and then spit it out, like... "Oh, that was a mistake!" LOL!!!

That is common with many tetras but at least they are not like gold fish and swallow it and look for more

My marine shrimp used to do that. Some of them were bigger than a cherry shrimp (4 inches long and claws even longer). They would crawl over my hands and arms looking for food.

The female Bettas and tiger barbs used to do it in the shop too. They would bite the hairs on your arm and you felt it.
