Dissepearing Ghost Shrimp

cheseboy · 01-21-2006, 06:46 PM

I have 5 neons 1 Dwarf Gourami 2 Cherry Barbs and some ghost shrimp.

Some of my ghost shrimp have been mysterously dissepearing. I have only 2 or 3 left now that are hiding in an artifical cave. I have found no dead shrimp so far. Could my Gourami be eating the shrimp? Since it seams like right after I swithced them from a 20 gallon to a 10 gallon they have been dissepearing. Any ideas?

my gourami would eat ghost shrimp. or he would kill them and the other shrimp would eat the corpses

All mine always jump out. Make sure you check the floor really good behind the tank. Thats were I always find mine.

Hmm... well just a few mins ago I observed my DwarfGourami stalking and then nibbeling on my ghost shrimp's anntene. Then he crawled into a space to small for the Dwarf Gourami to get into. I guess since I moved my Dwarf Gourami into a smaller tank it has been easier for him to hunt ghost shrimp. I have never saw dead ghost shrimp on the floor but I looked anyway, there were none. Any ideas to make it so my Ghost Shrimp will have a better chance of surviving?

Add java moss or christmass moss. If mine dont jump they love to hide in it.

Depends on the type of gourami too, a bunch of different types like lots of vegetation in the tank. Which would also give your ghost shrimp good places to hide too.
