Last thursday, I got a cleaner shrimp, along with two candy stripe shrimps and a selection of snails. (these are the first inhabitants to my newly matured aquarium) Sometime on saturday, he disappeared. He seemed OK, was acclimated over a 45 min period, and was behaving normally, and accepted food. It's now tuesday evening, and I haven't seen him since. I figured he was shedding his skin, and might be away hiding for a little bit while his new exoskeleton hardens. But how long does this take usually? ? I've checked around the back of the aquarium, nothing there so he hasn't jumped out...
All the other critters are doing great, btw, and the water quality is excellent.
