help needed [shrimp dead or is it hiding inside the moss ?]

[tmark]

Hi I'm a newbie to shrimps. recently i got some sakura, blue and cherry shrimps. the cherry and blue shrimps were pregnant and i saw a lot of small babies shrimps. but after that never see them already. Could it be dead or is it hiding inside the moss? what will they eat? Must i buy any special food for them?(I got no fishes. Only 3 otto's). Any bos and sis able to advise? Thanks a lot.

wat's ur tank setup like?

they cld be sucked up by ur filter...or simply they are juz hiding..

mine is a lots of moss and some nana. 2ft x1ft. my filter i have covered with the wool. No way it has gone there.

then my best guess is tt they are all hiding..tt they are simply out of sight...

i've placed some cherry shrimplets in my 2ft tank (filter i nv cover at all)...wanted to test see if they can survive in my comm tank...din see em initially so i tot they all got sucked up or up lorry...

but after a few wks..surprise surprise...i see many cherry shrimps hanging ard...(each abt 1-1.5cm)..every once in a while i will see smaller shrimps (0.5-0.8cm) appearing...

so i guess..in ur case, they are hiding...

ok thanks bro. Do i need to feed them any food or will they get their own ones?

i can only answer tt to e best of my knowledge..cos i am not entirely a shrimp person..

my tank has many other (small) fish. so e food i feed em, some will sink to e bottom..and i guess tt's where e shrimps will get their food..i oso understand plants oso will help..as they can oso be places where food can be found..they dun eat e plants per se, but rather e stuff tt gathers on em..

i guess u can go get those shrimp pellets and feed em though..

let's hope other gurus can come help u...
