It might have gone up through the filter water flow. Mine travel up and into my filter and pick food and stuff off the filter. They are incredible jumpers...

 

[Jason7894561230]

But my water flo is really slow

 

[Cichchick79]

Makes it even easier for them to jump up the flow and out...Its what they do, they arent the brightest LOL!

 

[Jason7894561230]

No not really thanks for the replies

 

[Cichchick79]

[Jason7894561230]

Shrimp are excellent climbers, he could have swam to the top of the tank and then just climbed out!

lol Silly shrimp

I didn't know they jump! They make so much poo, too. My husband hates my shrimp. I had them in my last tank but I don't remember them being so dirty. I guess I didn't have as much algea.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Lol yeah they do poo a lot

Sorry about your shrimp - that's a bummer. I had one of my snails escape the tank and of course the way I found it was by stepping on it and crushing it to death It totally blended in with our wood floors! Our critters are amazing in the things they do.

 

[Jason7894561230]

I know right just why do they do that, my yabbie is the same only i save this one beacause i can hear it

If it makes you feel any better, I found two dead RCS on the lid under the light on my 20L last night. I dug around and found the panel that fits the back of the glass canopy, so hopefully no more jumpers.
