You may want to re-adjust your rainbar and double check your water perimeter

Do check your water perimeters.
The shrimps trying to get out is showing that the water may not be suitable for them

Ph 6.7-6.8
Ammonia -0
Nitrite - 0
Temp 23.5-24.5

The problem is the whole bag i got from LFS all at bottom except this 2 is doing it is this 2 representing a tell tale sign that something is going wrong with my tank? Also my the migrate for my old tank is doing fine all at the bottom. If so i really need to go back re-check my parameter. Maybe the Ph pen need to re-calibrate.

Guess your PH is slightly moving to the high side. Best if you can reduce it to the norminal of 6.5. But if it is just 1 or 2 of them doing such a thing it might not really cause and alarm, just ensure all parameter are intact.... this shrimp at time like to do this "trick" to find some food source I guess....

Why would you want to prevent heat lost ah?

On those 'climbing' shrimps, it may not necessarily means something is wrong with the water. Of cos it is safer to check on them and on e water before something goes awfully wrong.

Why did I say it may not be something wrong. I do get such behaving shrimps from time to time. If the water level is too high and touches the rubber suction pads, I do get some climbers. But, over the next few weeks (despite not doing anything apart from e regular top up), I do not see dead shrimps in the tank.

P/S : Btw, I noticed you have BDS/CRS and Yellow cherrys.

bro.. no messy la..looks nice.. love the rocks...

2 question that might be the cause.. like some bro said, better to be save then sorry..

1) are the plant quarnite, wash, and clean?
2) is the tank cycle?
