Here is another video of our vampire shrimp. I love how it changed color to blue. It likes to hide behind the sponge filter and in the coconut hut but once in a while it explores the aquarium. We love watching her/him.
Thanks for sharing. I bought two bamboo shrimp this week. In my mind they would spend all of their time on top of a rock pile waving their fans. I have yet to see that behavior. They spend most of the time hiding out. I keep them in a 55 gallon planted tank with plecos, guppies, shrimp and some mystery snails.
Have you seen your plecos fighting/chasing them? I notice it now and then and it's quite comical - the vampire shrimp stand their ground and the pleco hates it xD
I believe I read that they spend about 25% of the time feeding off of the floor. So I just think this was one of those times. They don’t exclusively filter feed.
@@merchantotin6266 Yes, even with enough stream and powder food in the tank, they still scavenge on the floor from time to time. Atyopsis moluccensis (other fan shrimps) don‘t do this.
Hi. It's doing Ok thank you. I guess I haven't really posted anything about it lately. I focused on the plants in our garden. I should make an update soon. Thanks for asking.

Is your vampire shrimp a male or a female?
Might need to feed it more powder food or brine shrimp so that it doesn't scavenge on the floor.

@@bricarbajal8069 I can relate to your point as I’ve got 4 bamboo shrimp and 2 armoured shrimp and they often chose a method best suited to them.

How is the tank doing? Didn't see any other updates, but maybe I missed
