Blood red Flipout

[thecichlidpleco]

As I was about to feed my tank, I noticed my blood red shrimp actually swimming in the current of the corner of the tank, and then all of a sudden freak out and dart to the top of the tank and almost make it out of the water. Now it is walking around with its tail curled underneath itself, like a scared dog. Why?

Nevermind, i think it is on the way out, brittle star was trying to bring its leg into a hole and eat it while it did nothing. I moved it and even when I placed it on its back, it did not flip itself over.

It might be getting ready to molt

And God's greatest mistake was giving man opposable thumbs! lol

my shrimp darts about at feeding time. goes upside down on the water surface and eats the flakes.
