Missing skunk shrimp

[ZANYMASTER]

No triggers in my tank except for my angels and a foxface.3rd one I bought and went missing almost over night.Could something have eaten it?Those guys don't come cheap you know.I thought fish liked to have them around?

 

[Deanos]

How long do you acclimate them? They are sensitive to rapid changes in salinity. Also, what is your nitrate level?

 

[tomzpc]

Also, what else DO you have in the tank?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

All parameters are good,all I have are Mexican turbos and like two hermits.

 

[yiliyang]

I never seen mexican turbo eat meat, 2 hermits are not enough to eat the whole shrimp. You go any fishes in there that might eat it?

I have 2 cleaners, one of them is in hiding all the time, could they be hiding?

Cleaners are over rated IMO. The 2 I have never clean anything except food I give to my corals.

Good luck.

How big is the cleaner I have seen them for sale very small.

 

[Wes]

maybe it molted...they usually disappear for a few days after a molt

Check to see if any family members bought cocktail sauce and left it in the fridge :eat:

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Maybe some fish did eat them.I'm not buying any more shrimp.If they were hiding,I would see them from time to time but nothing.Not even dead,got eaten.Oh well.

not necessarily...i just saw a peppermint shrimp i havn't seen in about 4 months the other day...it's not like i have a big tank either.

U never answered Deanos question....its important that you take your time in acclimating livestock....especially inverts since they are sensitve to quick changes in waterparameters....imagine someone taking you from a nice beach and throwing you into the artic ocean....crazy right...you'd bug out....:lol2:

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Excuse me but I've had these guys before and I know how to acclimate inverts.And Scarf,you only saw the bi-color and the foxface and a tiny hippo.the hippo died and I've gotten a Imperator angel now.

 

[Deanos]

Sorry for asking

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Guys.One did show up today.Missing since Saturday but he's there.
