Hi all, I recently added a dozen or so Amphipods to my 10gal QT but I don't really see them anywhere now. There are several "huge" bundles of chaeto in there that I think they may be hiding in, but I wanted to ask, what's the general behavior for amphipods (gammarus) in your tanks? Do they burrow in the substrate? Do they stay inside chaeto balls? Do they ever come out and swim, etc...
As a side note, I am adding the amphipods with hopes that my puffer will eat them in my DT, and then I will add a mandarin that will eat copepods and amphipods. The puffer will control the amphipods and the amphipods/mandarin will control the copepods and amphipods. As convoluted as it sounds, basically I hope the puffer eats them on occasion.
