Amano shrimp behaviour.

[BigSteve2]

My female amano shrimp is currently carrying loads of eggs. I know they won't survive in my freshwater tank but my question relates to the unusual behaviour of the other male shrimp. They are literally tearing around the tank after the female. Is this normal amano behaviour?

How many do you have? I heard they can display dominant behavior if they are in smaller groups.

Sorry for the late reply. 4 in total.

I would say it it's normal behavior because they are only in a group of 4. I think if you got more (or hopefully the little ones will survive) that behavior will disappear.
