    ok this might sound like a stupid ? but it has become a bit of a problem

    i have 2 fire shrimp 2 cleaner shrimp and 3 peppermints .
    the cleaner shrmip have recently decided to move to the other side of the tank (where the pepermints were) now all 3 peppermints have decided to take home in the bottom of my huge duncan. they are not doing it harm except the fact that they are causing it to open and close all day so other then getting rid of them and i have tried to move it ( they follow it ) any other ideas???
