Hi!
I'm trying to understand why my Amano shrimps are disappearing all the time... I have a 60 liters aquarium with good water parameters and are doing water changes 2-3 times a week right now. I have 11 cardinal tetras, 2 grown platys, 5 small platys, 3 octocinclus. Some weeks ago I bought 3 Amanos, and they all disappeared after the first day, and I haven't found them dead on the floor as if they would have escaped...So I bought 5 more, small Amanos this Sunday, and they immediately found a place to hide under a branch, but after 2 days they are all gone as well! This time I covered the sides of the top with plastic foil to prevent them from running away (if that was what happened the last time) but no, it didn't help. So now I'm wondering if it could be my other fishes that might have been eating up my Amanos?! They were never out in the open when I saw them, perhaps because they understood the danger and I didn't...
