Has anyone had experience with vampire shrimp? I bought one last evening from a fish store. Acclimated him slowly, with a special little cave for him to hide in. After he got in the tank, quick as a flash he climbed onto my anubias attached to my driftwood and started aiming his fans in the direction of the pump. But this morning, he's disappeared. Out of sight. I keep him on a desk with various other items, but he remains nowhere to be seen. His tankmates can't have eaten him - I have around 6 snails from the wild, perhaps 30 ghost shrimp, two albino cory cats and a male betta. The tank's planted, but after a thorough check he's nowhere to be found. I have a lid, but it doesn't cover the entire tank - there's space for HOB filters and air pump tubes. Has anyone ever had their vampire shrimp escape? My little red clawed crabs and blue crayfish tried, so I wouldn't be surprised.
