Shrimp is missing....there goes $20.00! lol!

I don't get it, it was there yesterday morning (8:00am) and when my roommate check at 12:00pm it was gone... no body parts, no shell no anything... there's nothing that it could have gotten sucked up in, and my damsel is sure not big enough to eat it...there's not a heck of a lot of tiny holes for it to get into...even when feeding it didn't come out....so I dunno... any idea's?! all water levels are fine... big mystery!

Won't be getting any more shrimp that's for sure

Well I bought a single peppermint shrimp and the same thing happened - just went missing one day - no body or shell or anything. I never saw it again and thought maybe my big cleaner shrimp (I have two) took it out as they were charging the poor little guy when I put it in.

I then added two peppermints and though they do not show their little faces too often I know they are in there because they come out sometimes for feeding.

He's probably still in there somewhere.....

I had one in my 10 and he "disappeared" for about 3 days and then was back.....

I have 5 in the 75 and most of the time can only spot 1-2 on the rare occassion do i see them all.

Only other thing might be if your parameters are out of whack.....

You will probably never see your shrimp during the day. I only see mine at night and thats it usually. Try a flashlight at night and you will probably see it..If it's small it will hide for a bit.....
