So I bought an awesome Giant African Fan Shrimp (aka Vampire Shrimp) two weeks ago. I think it is female because its front legs are smaller than the pictures of males I've seen online.
After I put her in the tank, she did the disappearing act with a quickness -- I mean, that shrimp was GONE in nothing flat. I have not seen her -- even once -- since then. Nor have I seen any suspicious looking shrimp parts floating around. The biggest thing in my tank (besides the shrimp) is a betta, and my betta is a wuss.
Do you think she is alive, and just extremely shy? Or is she most likely dead somewhere beneath the substrate?
