Did My Rcs Get Eaten?

So I got 11 RCS 2 days ago. I go to count them for fun and I can never count all of them I get to 7 at most. I do have a piece of wood in the middle of the tank and 2 dragonstones aswell as quite a few plants. I check behind the log as hard as I can and in the rocks aswell.

If my guppies ate the shrimp would I see the body of the dead shrimp or would they eat the whole thing?

 

if they did get eaten then you should find something of them whether its a body part or their shell/skin. although it is possible they did eat the shrimp

 

My rcs just went missing in my guppy tank one by one, so I wouldn't be too sure that they weren't just eaten!!

I also have a few corydoras, could they have done it?
Sometimes I count the shrimp and I see 2 and soemtimes I see 7. They hide so well so I'm not really sure

 

haha yes its hard to keep track of the number of shrimps sometimes.
corydoras don't generally eat shrimp from what ive read, the guppies are most likely the ones eating them

I really hope they didnt get eaten since they are so fun to look at!

I hope not as well. I have ghost shrimp and they are a lot of fun to watch and also are cute. right now I'm trying to save up money for a shrimp tank so I won't have to worry about them getting eaten XD

 

They might be hiding they are good at it

I really hope so

 

I have a piece of driftwood in my shrimp tank and can never count all of them until I look under the wood to see about 4 figures the shape of shrimp moving theyre whiskers.

Today I could only count 3 out of eleven. I'm 100% sure they ate atleast one because I'm pretty sure I found a leg. If they ate one I'm not really bothered but if they ate 8, I am...

 

Like others have said they are really good hiders. Especially when it comes to molting. Just wait a while. Make sure they have food to eat as well

Is there a good way to feed them? Since I have corydoras they go and eat their food before the shrimp can get to it (most of the time)

 

Guppies will definitely eat them, and every last piece of them at that. If you're missing more and more every day, your guppies are loving you right now.

Update: I moved the aquarium around and I found 7 (before I found only 3) so I still have hope that maybe some of them are hiding in the dragon stonw

Hmmm do you have sinking wafers? Kinda hard for shrimp to get food when there are cories with them.

 

I had a colony that slowly got smaller and smaller. I assumed they were hiding, but it turned out they were being eaten by damselfly nymphs.

Damselfly will eat shrimp. Were you not told about that?

Yes I feed my fish like so:

I put guppy food in one corner, cory food in the other and shrimp food in the other

 

Putting them in different corners really doesn't make a difference for the cories. If they find food they will eat to their hearts desire.

I knew that and removed the nymph I found, but they’re good at hiding and there were dozens more. I ended up tearing the whole tank apart and restarting it because there were so many.
