a few weeks ago I put 45 red cherries in the tank havnt seen much off them until now. There was about 10 hanging around in the corner at the top. A few was in the floating weed.
One was sat in the flow off bubbles in the co2 diffuser.

Is this normal
 
I did put in 4 amano shrimp a few days ago have these brought out a new found confidence in the little ones.
 
I've just added some weed from a lfs. Gave it a good wash through.
Could it be something on that.

Hi Simon, sometimes plants can be treated with copper to kill pest snails & may adversely affect shrimp too. Juse in case this is what's happened it might be a good idea to also do a large water change too?
 
Water change done.
Air pump on for the night.
Water level slightly lower to let the return pipe splash the surface for more airation.
 
remember and match tds as close as possible by remineralising the RO, or you might shock them
