The reason they are attracted to your filter is because the micro foods are more easily found in the current. I added an anubias plant that floats and of course ends up at the intake my shrimp sit on it and fan all day long. They also need to be fed, not depending on whats in the tank. You can grind up any foods. you can also go to the saltwater section & get some Phytoplankton & Zoo-plankton (liquid & powder). I use a turkey baster to get the foods close to their area.

I had one molt while I was doing the water change a couple weeks ago. Poor guy must have been tramatized, with all that action going on during this vulnerable period.
I do have the Phytoplankton and have been using a turkey baster. I squirt it close to them a few times a day when their feeding and now that I am not seeing them as much in the day, I have been dumping a dose in right before I go to bed. I am gonna pick up the zoo-plankton next time I go to the store that carries it. It did look more appealing but was twice the price.
The pic you posted, food fight. What kind of shrimp are those, and theres a little one riding the one on the left, what kind is that?
