Cherry Shrimp

[smokeyjo]

My father recently got 7 cherry shrimp and since they have been put in the tank they have only been seen a few times and its only ever 1 or 2 of them. Is this normal for them to hide in the bogwood?

Yep.

But also check the filter as they can end up in there.

And there's always the chance they've been eaten, depending on what fish you have.

Yeah I've checked the filter they aren't in there. The bogwood is a funny shape with loads of little hiding places in there. Would kissing gouramis eat them? That's the only thing that's big enough to eat them in there

 

[soybean]

Ooh I bet they'd give it a good go.

there in there somewhere may even behiding in the gouramis stomach

They could be in every imaginable place you could think of. There are probably more hiding spots then you even knew! I knew that when I added some of my ghost shrimp.

Lmao I may have seen them in the brown stringy stuff on the sand oh yeah their poop lmao

 

[XeroTolerance]

That is a very possible guess.
