Hi, new member here.
I set up my a tank for my son three weeks ago and have followed the guidelines as best as I can.
I have a Superfish Aqua65 with live plants, rocks and a branch.
We added 5 Amanos and 5 Cherries and while they have all survived so far they don't seem to be behaving like I see them do on youtube clips where they are swarming over every morsel of food.
Mine are less active though they seem relatively content. The Amanos in particular hide at the back of the tank for the most part , at least in the daytime. We have added small amounts of shrimp food but haven't seen them eat any.
The only fish we have are 5 harlequins and 5 cardinal tetras so the shrimp certainly have little to be scared of.
Water temperature is around 25.
I love shrimp and would like to add a few more but I'm just not seeing the ravenous scrums I see on the 'net.
Any advice is welcome.
