Aquarium Advice Addict
So I have an 8.8 gal aquarium with some yellow and "blue" shrimp. Blue being in quotes because that's what they were sold to me as but only one of them was blue and the other 2 were chocolate (I think).
I've noticed that they've started to disappear to the point where I went from 8 shrimp to 3.
I did a massive search today and couldn't find the other shrimp.
Some answers before you ask
1. Yes I looked in the filter
2. Yes I do a daily walk around the tank to make sure they didn't somehow climb out.
3. I removed a large feature rock from my tank thinking they were somehow underneath but they weren't
4. Yes i checked all my plants.
5. No i don't have any fish in the tank or a cat outside of it.
6. Yes I know they hide when they molt but the've been gone for longer than a molt lasts
7. Water quality is fine and if they died I should be able to find the bodies right?
At this point I don't know what to do and will probably just sell the remaining 3 shrimp before anything happens to them.
