So, my girlfriend and I were relaxing, watching TV and out of the corner of my eye I see my 2 clowns doing this weird dance. So, I'm watching them and trying to figure out what they were doing, then I see my flasher and cardnialfish doing the same. So I head over to the tank to see, I then notice they were all eating something. Took me a few seconds to see what they were eating which looked like very small brine shrimp. Then the light bulb went off, my 2 fire shrimp must have had babies as those are my only shrimp in the tank. It's very hard to see in the video but I did the best I could with this unexpected new experience. My fish got a nice snack tonight!

Awesome! Enjoy the free fish food!

My cleaner shrimp would have babies all the time, that's exactly how I could tell when the fish were running around crazy eating em. At first I thought they were microbubbles from the skimmer until I took a scoop of water out and looked at em up close.
