Hi i havent seen 1 of my peppermint shrimp in over a week. Should i be worried?
This specific shrimp was found eating a shedded exoskeleton over 2 weeks ago. But she should have LONG since regrew her shell plus she was swimming out in the open before her shell even grew back. That was the last confirmed sighting on Monday of last week. 2/4/13.

Random unrelated to the above story about the 'other' peppermint shrimp (i have 2) :
The other bigger peppermint is out and about so much, during feeding time he goes up to the very top of the tank and lets me pet him. Unfortunately the clown fish got pissed because the peppermint was taking all of 'his' food and he bit off one of his legs. I shooo'd the clown away with my hand and the shrimp ran back to his cave. All is good though. Only a minor injury. He doesnt even seem to notice the missing leg. Its supposedly a common injury, i see shrimp all the time missing a leg or two, even 3 is only fairly uncommon around here.
