Peppermint Shrimp Nocturnal?

Hi, I just bought 2 peppermint shrimp. They only seem to come out of the cave at night. Are they nocturnal?

 

Yes they are night shrimp! Mine came out during the day when food was in the tank, but they are most up and awake during the night, same as most shrimp..

 

yep they are noctural, I have one and never see it during the day, and really have to look at night for him

 

yeah mine hid during the day and came out only at night

 

I've had some that will be very interesting and active in the day, I think it depends on the shrimp.

 

They are nocturnal. Usually the only way I can tell that mine are still alive is the apstasia are non existant.

 

Mine was that way for 5 months, now he hangs with the cleaner and fire shrimps.

 

Well for one you just got them so yeah, they are going to be super shy and only come out at night, and two, like everyone else said they are nocturnal. You can coax them out during the day with food. Mine knows what the feeding tube is and will always come running for it as soon as it hits the tank.
