in my saltwater tank, the shrimp wont go down to the bottom2007-11-24 23:37:08

they just sit up top between the filter and the heater. they are alive because I can try to nudge them away, but they just run right back, they're not doing their job in my tank and I'm mad. I turned up the water temp, but they just like it right there and they dont come out. There is a coral substrate, and several live rocks to for them to live on . Its 55 gallons, I have two damsels, a royal gramma, and a goby, plus a sea star, and some snails. what can I do to make the little punks go live on the bottom ??

Answers:

Your Royal Gramma and Damsels can be very territorial and will chase the shrimp away from their area. Try rearranging your tank so that they all find new areas hopefully, your shrimp will too.

I avoid damsels, they may be small and cheap, but they are definately not good for communities
