MIA shrimp

[petepaschall]

I put 4 peppermint shrimp in my tank last Friday after a nice long acclimation. They all immediately went into the rocks. I saw one come out that night, but have not seen any since. Should I be worried that they didn't make it, or does it take them a while to get comfortable? I have some aptasia that I'm trying to get rid of, and I was hoping that at least one out of four would make the transition.

Never mind - I just found one. Alive and well, just hiding under the rocks.

Have u find the other 3?

I only have one and he only comes out at night.

they are illusive. Once they learn you're food then they will come scrambling out for some. Other than that they are pretty nocturnal and hang out in the shade till dark.

Found 3 together this morning. I guess all's well. Hey, JJet. What kind of fishing do you do? Inshore/offshore? How's the snook fishing been this summer?

Glad all is well. They will also hide when they molt.
