Missing Shrimps!!

[coopergtr]

I haven't seen my shrimps for a while now, could my parrot fish have eaten them? (as they are the most aggressive fish i have) or could they just be hiding?

[Tolley]

What kind of shrimp we talking and what types of fish are in the tank?

[coopergtr]

they are japonica shrimps, apart from the parrot fish i have:
gourami's,
sword tails,
corey's,
a key hole cichlid,
killies,
kribensis,
upsidedown catfish,
spotted dora
and a plec.

Wow what an amouint of fish and diversity in a 50 gallon!!!!!!!!!

The chances that the Parrot's ate the shrimp are very likely....

[Algenco]

shrimp were lunch, there are several candidates on that list

Yup. half way through reading that list it was a confirmation on the buffet.

Several fish are probably wondering when the next helping of those little cruchie things are gonna be delievered.

ohhhhh yeahhh...fish food....*burp*(zfish)

[AquaBANG]

if the tank was open, there is a good chance that they could have jumped out. I have had Ghost and Wood shrimps doing that.

I wouldn't think shrimp would survive anything but maybe some neons or guppies. My tetra's ate mine.

i have a mix of tetras and had 5 glass shimp in there and they were gone within a week lol

All my shrimp are over 1" long, and the tetras don't even pay attention to them. My tank is also planted quite well and has many hiding spots, so maybe that's how my shrimp have survived for so long.

Oh well, even if they do become lunch, they are $.33 each and do a nice job of cleaning up the tank :X

Any Cichlids On That List Could Of Done It Also Did You Check The Filter?
