I don't know anything about these guy's but I bought 5 of them yesterday. I usually do not add anything to my tanks that I know nothing about but this was a lack of will/judgment moment at the lfs. Anyways, I added them to my 30 gal tank after acclimating them to my water for an hour (as if they were fish) and then released. They seemed active initially, then after checking back 1 hr latter, they were/are no where to be found. I am wandering if they are nocturnal maybe, or very good hiders? I do have some rock formations they could be behind. There is 3 large Angelfish in the tank but the shrimp were fairly large (larger than some tetra I have kept before with them); could they have been devoured? Thanks.

the shrimps will usually hide during the day if it feels threaten. i guess your angels might pose a threat to them. if it fits in the mouth..it's going in the mouth is how i judge it. haha.
i used to have angels with the shrimps and i've seen the angels nip at them. so my shrimps were always in hiding. once i got rid of my angels, they came out more often.

i got some in my tank and well they are sometimes hard to spot they like to hide, mine likes to hide on this rock with javaplants on it, if ur angel is big enough it could eat the shrimps i have rainbows neons and some cories with them also ghost shrimps in there too but the algae shrimps are better at eating alge
