    had 4 cherry shrimps in 1foot nano tank.. was doing fine for 3-4weeks, after that they disappeared. or migrated.

    juz curious, do shrimps get eaten by tetras, cories or rummynose? i've looked very hard for them, shrimps really gone. nop they didnt jump out, nop don see their bodies.. it looks like they've been eaten, or died AND melted.

    which is the more likely scenario, eaten or melted?
    my planted tank is a small 12\"x7\"x10\"(height)

    most likely died, eaten and rotted away

    did you try lifting up your drift wood? Sometimes shrimp hide under there.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
