yeah i know, at least they're being discreet about it... but here's the thing, it's been 2 days now. These shrimps started having congregations when I purchased that plant. My tank is well planted but that specific plant is where they all chill...

Yeah, my Amano's congregate around the algae wafers I drop in the tank as well. I've even watched them play capture the flag with the wafers sometimes.
