cleaner shrimp is missing

[Jaynie1028]

I have a 29 gallon fish tank and i am missing one of my cleaner shrimps. I havent seen him in about 3 or 4 days. I think maybe he is dead some where. But i cant find him. Will he turn my water bad in a 29 gallon Bio cube? DO I have to take all the rocks and corals out to find him? Or will the other cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs just eat him? I dont want none of my levels to jump up.

Thanks so much

If its already been a few days you probably won't find much of it left in the tank, scavengers act pretty fast. I would just monitor your water levels to be sure nothing too bad has happened. Other then that, it's no big deal as long as you don't have any shrimp predators in your tank.

Ya theres probably not much left of it, I would be more concerned about why it died.
