Now I must say that ghost shrimp are the funniest little critters I have seen. I have 12 in my community and they are definatly not shy. I have seen one take off with a whole shrimp pellet for himself, if im crushing snails they will pick the carcasses right of the glass and run away with them.

Today was flake food day, and as the gauramis were working the surface I noticed a ghost shrimp had found himself a nice spot on a floating plastic plant. He then leaped and flipped upside down and grabbed ahold of a piece of flake food and took it down to the bottem with him. it took him about 3 tries to acomplish this but hillarious to watch just the same.

anyone else see them do complety bizzar things?
 
yes! i love ghost shrimp for their wacky swimming behavior. my favorite thing about them is to watch them eat. i swear you can see it pass through their bodies.
