Re: [GSAS-Member] Shrimp Huddling at top of Tank.

[Laurel Larsen <laurelthequeen@gmail.com>]

I'd test your water and see if anything's spiking.  A $30 water  
testing kit is well worth it if you're possibly having cycling  
issues.  Are there any fish in there?  Perhaps they're experiencing  
aggression and trying to hide at the top.
