Who Ate The Ammino Shrimp

[iroc]

Tank Fish 55 gal full planted with lots of slate caves and drift wood

3 x Clown Loaches ( will be rplaced with yo yo loaches when they get to big) biggest about 4"
1 x Sliver vail tail angelfish - Full grown about 5" across including fins
5 x Black skrit tetras - 1" each
1 x Rainbow Shark - 3 1/2 "
1 x Albino Rainbow Shark - 4"
1 x Red Flame Gourami - 2"
1 x Blue marble Gourami - 3 1/2 "
1 x Platinum Gourami - 3 1/2 "
2 x Clown Plecos - 2"
1 x Common pleco ( being fish watched while a friends tank cycles ) 2"


I added 10 ammino shrimp ( I added 5 to my 20 gal and they are all still alive)

I swear that as soon as 2 hours after i added them I never saw them again. But according to my findings NONE of these fish would have eaten them, at least not at there currant size. Any idea???

i would be suprised to see any shrimps left at all!!!! Expensive meal for your fish that.

shrimp don't usually last long with big fish in with them. but in a 55g with lots of plants and hiding places, there must have been a frenzy ambush.

your fish have been planning this for a while. a perfect ambush. one goes up, 2 come from behind, then the rest come down and attack from all sides. the rest of the shrimp go right into there trap..



or they could of just been hungry fish, either way works...

This is funny, I asked this question in the planted forum in one of my tank threads and everybody said none would eat them............. Well I guess I won't be adding the shrimp to this tank lol....
