    Update on my shrimps.


    I had a total of 3 peppermints and 1 skunk.

    One peppermint died within a week. Bummer. But the other 2 have been going strong ever since. Fairly social and I see them a lot.


    But my skunk! Dangit. It was doing, I thought, really well. Molted at least twice since I got it. Now he's MIA for the past 40 hours :-/

    I am pretty sure that it was his molt and not the shrimp itself stuck to my powerhead as I've seen this before... but now I can't find it. I'm able to get all around the tank too and with its super long 'antennae' it should be hard to hide... I don't think they burrow...

    I'm pretty bummed about that. Shrimp are my fav. I will give it a few more days before I say for sure if I just can't find it though. Good luck to you Le Pew! Hope you're still there.
