About a month ago, I bought 8 ghost shrimp for my 40b tank. Recently they all just disappeared. I know my fish don't eat them because my rasboras and cardinals don't go anywhere near them. I continue to test my parameters and they are all good. I keep reading that they are easy to keep but this doesn't seem to be the case. Any idea on what's going wrong?
shrimp keep dying?

Are they getting sucked up into the filter? Do you have a lid on your tank?

If your water parameter's good, they're may be nothing wrong. I've read it's not unheard of to lose a whole purchase of Ghost Shrimp. They undergo ... as well as other shrimp ... a lot of stress while in transit to your LFS.
Shrimp are also masters at hiding and they are also scavengers that'll cannibalize dead fellow members. All the same, post your parameters ... there may be something there ... or not. I'm also wondering if they are molting and thus hiding until their exoskeletons harden?
