I second kipass said, I have had to buy peppermint shrimp a couple times, I just bought some a couple of days ago as a matter of fact and I wasnt really worried about them not comming out and now they are finally comming out about 2.5 weeks after introducing them.

my peppermints usually hide most of the time, hangin upside down under some rocks, they mostly come out when food is floating around.

I have 5 and they will swim up and eat from my hand. One actually will swim upside down to the top of the tank and skim along the top water when food is there. It is very funny to watch!
