Axolotls tickled by live food

[larn]

I just bought some live food for the first time, i put some little shrimps in with my axolotls , one of them appears to be annoyed by the shrimp. looks like he is being tickled and has sudden bursts of movement. i can't see that they are eating them yet, can anyone let me know if this is normal ?

Sounds amusing!

Wait until night, turn out the lights, and watch them stalk the shrimps.

It's typically a good idea to quarantine anything you plan on introducing into your tank for about 30 days. You never know if there are parasites or something harmful that could be acquired through the pet shop.
