How do I find him

[sfeath]

I put a ghost shrimp in my 20G to see if the corys I had in there would attack him, and he was fine, but now I can't find him. I doubt he was eaten, all the corys are too small to fit the shrimp in their mouth and they are all fed pretty well. I looked around plants last time I water changed, but is there an easier way to find the shrimp? I am not great with spotting things as I have colorblindness, so if there is a easy hack I would love to hear it

About the only time I see mine is right after feeding the fish, so you might look then.

With the lights off at night, and a good flashlight was the only way I could see mine, lol.

It’s going to be tough. He’s hiding somewhere. If he is alive you’ll probably see him after a feeding possibly

If you've moved the shrimp the change in the water will probably trigger a moult and the shrimp will
hide until its new exoskeleton hardens. We have seven cories and 15 amanos - at feeding time the shrimp bully the cories so I don't think you'll have any problems there!

Corries will not harm shrimp so he is probably somewhere in the tank still

Call its name and see if it comes running

I haven't named him only 3 of my corys have names, they get names once they do something to earn them! mama tonI is the biggest fat one, wazowskI had a damaged cornea that he healed, and braille lost both his eyes to an infection with his original school, he was the only one that was alive when I adopted him!

I was at a pet store one day looking at ghost shrimps. I could barely see them in the tank, so I decided not to buy any because I probably would suck them out during WC. Very tiny & hard to see for these old eyes!

I bought a baker's dozen from Petsmart a few months ago. They didn't even last 2 weeks, but I think my Angel enjoyed them, lol. I tried to be extra careful when vacuuming, but will never know. They were extremely hard to see, and were it not for their glowing eyes and my flashlight, I couldn't find them at all!

Feeders!

Amano shrimp are some of the strongest swimmers in our tank - they've been up and down the vac tube a few times and doesn't seen to bother them - that always swim out.

Are they some hardy shrimp? Can they survive in most aquariums? Thinking about getting a few.
