missing shrimp

[leongreenway]

before my boss went on holiday she put in 4 shrimp about 3cm long into the work 110Litre tank containing

6 tetras
1 Angel
2 New Guinea Rainbow
4 small golden chinese Algea eaters ??
3 corries
1 excellent red dwarf gourami (my Fave)
2 guppies

they now seem to have vanished

Any ideas??

1 Angel
1 excellent red dwarf gourami (my Fave)

the likely culprits. its ok tho'--adds protein.

really u recon the red had em

Indeed, angles for sure, but i wouldnt put it past the gourami either.

Chinese Algae Eaters can also be nasty, but they may still be too small. The aggression usually starts as they become "adults".

Sounds like it's just a generally shrimp-unfriendly tank to me! Sorry!

Let's just call it the sheep in a wolfpack syndrome. Expensive feeders your boss buys.

How big is the angel? If its not very big then it might not be him (her?). Shrimp are escape artists, so I would look inside the filter outlet, any other places where they might hide.

I have a Juwel tank with an inbuilt filter. I found my shrimp in there after a few days.

Dubster,

The Angel is only 4inch long (and High!). Cheers I will check the filter.
