Peppermint Shrimp question...Kinda funny.
Every time I put my hand in my tank my Peppermint Shrimps book it to my hand and try to get on. Is this normal activity for them? I tested my water, and all is well in the levels. It feels weird as heck to have them get on me (kinda reminds me of spiders for some reason). If they get on my hand will it hurt them, or hurt me? I just don't want them to get hurt in any way.

Yes it's normal. They are cleaning you! They will not hurt you, don't worry. Think of it as a free manicure. Just Be sure you have nothing harmful on your hands, like lotion.
