Random Shrimp Question

[smokaah]

I am curious if CRS are more social or communal than other breeds of shrimp? I have CRS, RCS and Yellows all in a 30 (I will separate when my new tank is ready) and the CRS recently have started to move in a pack and hang out together a lot, where as the other species are more solitary.

Just curious.

thanks,

Maybe the CRS are rallying the troops for protection against the more assertive neos. I'm just guessing, though.

I find the same thing too. One of the reason maybe their candy cane colour makes them stand out more so it's more visible when they get together. I have a tank with super tigers and akadama, everyday I think I lost them all because they pretty much camouflage into the substrate, so even if 10 of then are in a pack, I can probably only see 1 or 2. My bad eye sight doesn't help either.
