Yesterday I bought 4 amano shrimp, but since I put them in I havn't seen them much, and today I havn't seen them at all, is there an easy way to see them short of taking everything out of the tank.
I know that some most be alive though as I can see where they have eaten algae of my plants.

what size tank, the bigger the tank, the less likely your going to see them. i go days without seeing my shrimps, drop a algea wafer or pellet into an open space after lights out and watch, the shrimps might appear. dont worry about not seeing them all the time, their probally hiding eating a bit of food they have gathered.

Its a 65 liter, 17 gallon tank, although after I typed the original post I did see 2 appearing from the side of some bogwood, but soon scarpered once my yoyo loach appeared!

Maybe you should wait a bit for them to adjust to their new home. They will probably show up more with time.
