Hey,i have a 75g fowlr tank i was wondering how many peppermint shrimp i should have in my tank.
 
I guess it would be OK but that`s the nature of the beast as far as them hiding. I rarely see mine as that`s the reason I was asking. Shrimps, lobsters and crabs stay hiding alot. I have a reef lobster I `ve seen maybe 7 times in 6 yrs.
 
They are probably upside down hiding in the rocks. You can usually see them at feedng time if you look under the rock overhangs.

Are you sure that was not last nights dinner with melted butter ? :p
 
Here is my CBS carrying eggs and in her normal upside down position. I guess most shrimp hang upside down?
