Just wondering. I have a large and very active Mystery Snail named Tara; and I no longer have Frick and Frack. ☹
Do snails kill shrimp?

No. I believe they’re herbivores

Oh!
Wow, the things I don't know...
I wonder what happened to my shrimp?

Planarian or aquatic worms can cause that.

Okay, I guess I'll keep an eye out, although last time I did that it got really dry, shriveled up and was hard to get back in. It really hurt.

I just had two shrimp, since they are both gone do I need to treat the tank with anything? It has one Mystery Snail, a Danio, and one Green Neon Tetra left.

Is it a possibility that they can get out of the tank?

...yes, maybe? I have about 2" between top and the water line.
How and why? These may be silly questions but are they runaways?
I am still new.

I have seen shrimp jump several inches in the air. I lost one when he jumped out of the bowl that I had several shrimp in while preparing to transfer them. Unfortunately I did not see him until it was too late.

Their burst can propel them several inches. I’d look around the tank
