And I came back with a piece of driftwood as well. Big buy, eh? lol Well, I looked at the tanks and dreamed about the fish I could put in them, but those dreams were smashed when I remembered that I am busting at the seams in my little room as it is.

So, question - I just got my Cherry Shrimp the other day, so they're still getting used to the tank and such. Would it be bad for me to redo the layout tonight? Would that stress them out or anything?

And if I do redo the layout, should I try to take them out of the tank, or just work around them? I got the driftwood (which is really plastic, I do believe) to replace my glass jar that insists on being an algae breeding zone, but I think I want to rearrange more than just taking the jar out and sticking this in. What do you think?

EDIT: And actually, after looking at my tank and this driftwood, it may be too big to fit in the tank. Hmmm...we'll have to see. I already have that cave in there now. The driftwood may be a little much. hmmm

i dont think the shrimp will get stressed. Moving them would be more stressing. Just be slow when moving things in your tank not sudden. They will be fine and get out your way.
