Marc Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've not owned shrimp before. Mine had babies a few weeks ago and the juveniles are all swimming around the tank in a circle over and over again. This is the second time they've done it in the past week. I haven't added anything new to the tank. The only fish in there are two endlers. This goes on for hours. Water parameters are steady with zero nitrites and no ammonia build up. I think the tank is about 5 gallons. None of the adult 8 orange shrimp are doing this behavior. Is this something I should be concerned about? I may move some over to a 10 gallon I have the endler and cpd babies growing in if it is a sign of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
