I have four of these little guys in my planted tank. They are so much fun to watch. They are always on the go.

They occasionally eat small snails, too.

that's very strange, normally SAE and Yamato shrimps cannot attack snails because of their shell. SAE, like all cyprinids, only has teeth in their throat, unlike characins which has teeth in the jaws.
