Hey Amanda
How are your cherries doing? Found ALL of them yet? If I were a shrimp in your tank, there would be tons of places to hide ...

Hee. Nope. I have no idea how many I have. Every time I think I've found them all, I spot another one hiding in the hairgrass.
You'd think the cherries would be easier to spot than the green shrimp, but the cherries tend to hide more. The greens come right up to the glass all the time.

I find my RCS pretty tame also. Whenever I put anything, including the gravel cleaner or net in the water they swim to and cling to it
. Pretty neat

My cherries are also very tame. When I use a gravel vac to clean their tank they don't run away when it gets near, so sometimes they get sucked up and I have to fish them out of my bucket. So now I have learned to bump them with the gravel vac so they will swim away from it and not get sucked up. I have not tried putting my hand in the tank yet. The other end of the vac goes into a net perched on the edge of the bucket, to catch any errant shrimp that get sucked up.
I assumed all animals found the smell of humans extremely disgusting. But perhaps shrimp do not detect human oils like mammals do.

About catching escaped shrimp:
Actually, it's not that hard... You just run around the living room screaming your head of until it stops moving
Call me crazy, but why would you own a pet that you're so scared of that you'd rather let it die than touch it?
Especially a completely harmless species that couldn't possibly hurt you like a vampire shrimp?
Raise a hamster next time.
