    You kept 3 mantis together in a tank? That's usually pretty hard to do without them fighting and killing each other.

    My shrimp has been missing for about a month, I'm guessing he is dead!

    Yep

    My peppermint shrimp is missing too. For a few months now. I just found out the other day that my 5 inch hermit crab is the culprit. Now I am missing a urchin and there are no signs yet that he is the culprit but I am starting to wonder since the urchin's name was not hoodini.
