I just got 3 Amano shrimp today. I put them in my planted tank and haven't seen them since! They're all about 1.5 inches so I thought I'd see them foraging. All of my excitement has turned to boredom. Do yours tend to be shy? I'm hoping they're just getting adjusted.

my shrimp just shed his skin is it normal for them to bend there legs and tail to scratch them

[landsknechte]

Absolutely, they do it all the time. I don't know if they're scratching per se, or cleaning themselves.

@ddbb2626 cleaning , and leave the sheded skin with them , they'll consume it for vitamin of their new skin ^^

or else they'll have weak skin and easily cause death due to high water pressure
