I have a pack of Riffle Shrimp (Australia's Bamboo shrimp equivalent) in a 4ft quite heavily planted tank with a couple of airstones running 24/7 and a large HOB filter. I run my HOB on the side of the tank so I guess I should really call it a SOT. Where the filter return flows back into the tank I have a large slab of rock leaning against another rock which the Borneo Suckers really enjoy because it catches food on the slope for them while the Riffle shrimp will often also be either on top of the rock or underneath it. But their main preferred hangout spot to feed is in the leaves of the large anubius or Java fern which is positioned in such a way that the leaves are bobbing in the current from the filter return. If I ever see the riffle shrimp actually on the filter intake I know I need to up their feeding, Food wise they get a staple of tropical fish flakes, along with various catfish wafers, shrimp pellets (pellets made of shrimp not necessarily pellets designed especially for shrimp), algae wafers but the main thing I ensure I give me Riffle shrimp at least 3 times a week if not more is first fry powder. This I find floats and hangs in the water column for a long time and gives the Riffle shrimp ample opportunity to wiffle their fans through the mix and have a good feed. I almost never see my Riffle shrimp on the floor of the tank ( unless I have put in something REALLY tempting for them) and once again if they are regularly scavenging on the floor in the substrate they need their food increased. Because most if not all filter feeding shrimp come from high flow and usually cool water areas they also need good oxygen content in the water (cool water holds more oxygen than warm water and running water even more so), hence my airstones running in my tanks. My tanks in summer get insanely hot so they are all open topped and to date my Riffle shrimp have not been inclined to escape, although most shrimp are well known for making a break for it when conditions are not to their liking. Oh and even though it allows easy access for the shrimp to enter the filter I run the tank height right up and over the lip of the HOB return this makes good ripples across the surface and helps with water cooling. Hope this info helps you. Just on a side note, because Vampire shrimp get HUGE and would be quite heavy trying to teeter on a flapping leaf if you do get some vampire shrimp it would probably be best to try and set up some sturdy timber/ drift wood in the tanks current where the vampire shrimp can safely and easily clamber and get a good foot hold while feeding.

That must have taken a long time to catch them.
