To be honest it just looks like he’s eating something, considering the lines of bright red fecal matter through his body. I would say it’s exactly that if not for the fact that you said nothing changed in 24 hours. That’s a little odd, so keep an eye on him, but otherwise I’m sure he’s just eating something.

I just came across this which may be of interest, Simon

The time lapse isn't all that helpful but I still believe they are seed shrimps as I have the same (I hope they are just seed shrimp anyway, else I am in trouble as well)! Overfeeding the shrimps will give the seed shrimp extra food as well so that may be something to think about? The shrimp (not seed ones) will come out more the more shrimp you have in the tank as they feel much safer! I hope you get yellow babies soon, they are tiny and usually clear when first born so you may even think you don't have any until they colour up and grow a bit! Simon

They usually have 20-30 babies once per month so if all is well the colony will soon grow! I expect they are seed shrimp you have. I am tempted to get some small rasboras for my tank to maybe get rid of some of the seed shrimp (thats the excuse I am sticking with, but I really just want some of those fish), but IF the caridina shrimp start breeding then I am sure the fish will get some of the babies, though my tank is so densely planted they won't get them all? I have resisted getting them thus far................... You must be talking of a different tank than the yellow video as there are more than 2 shrimps in the video?? Simon

I can't really see what you are asking about, apart from some tiny spots on that glass tube? I assume they are seed shrimps which are harmless and fairly common, I have them in my tank! Is there any indication of a problem, dead shrimp etc? Very pretty yellow stripe shrimp! Simon
