I love Ghost shrimp! I know they are meant to be feeders for other fish, but I like to keep them as pets. I think they are funny to watch. Not only are the super cheap, but they are also highly entertaining to me, however they don't last long in my tank.

I just moved my tank and all my fish to a new house, once the water gets settled and is ready for new fish I will be doing some restocking and I would like to have some shrimp.

Here is what I currently have. Which fish do you think it taking out all my ghost shrimp?

4 golden dojo loaches
7 neon tetras
1 big pleco
2 bala sharks
1 black molly

Do you think they are being eaten by someone, or were they just dying quickly?
 
Even if they just died you wouldnt see them because the pleco would get the bodies.The mollies and neons are the only ones that I'd rule out as suspects.
 
I am considering re-homing my pleco and my bala sharks. They are getting really big, and I know they will continue to get bigger and bigger. I just feel bad because they have been in my tank so long. I know I can return them to my LFS.

good decision.
 
everyone except the tetras could be eating them. loaches will actually hunt them down
 
bala sharks. when i had my bala sharks i fed them lots of ghost shrimp
