Guys, I have about 11 tiger barb in my tank, with 2 Borneo sucker.
Then as I was shopping for more supplies, impulse kicked in and I brought 8 cherry shrimp, without given it a tot, I just put all of them together.
Day one was fine, shrimp were active and bump into the barn without issues, but now day three and four, they’re all hiding in my drift wood and not coming out in the open, is this normal? Or are the scare?
During day one mostly is shrimp bump into barb and barb did not pick on shrimp.
Advise appreciated
