Default Strange RCS Behavior

I just got 8 RCS today they've already got good color back, but 2 are acting rather lethargic and keep swimming straight towards the top and then straight back down till they hit the bottom face first... is this a "normal" behavior or should I be worried? All the others seem to be content just walking about eating scraps off the bottom and the plants. If anyone has more experience with these guys please please help me out. I don't really wanna wake up tomorrow and they're all face first in the ground trying to keep swimming forward!

My favorite odd shrimp behavior is when they freak out for no reason and start bouncing around all over the place.

But yes, my RCS like nose diving as well.

Have yours molted yet?
