Re: [GSAS-Member] Jumping Cherry/Yellow Shrimp

Ya know, this idea of being chased is an issue I never considered.  I have
been happy that they have been cohabitating with loaches but just because I
have never seen a loach take a shrimp doesn't mean they are not chasing them
out of the tank after dark.  Hmmmm...thanks for the thought.
