Ok so i put 3 peppermint shrimp in my tank yesterday and i cant spot a single one now i know there pretty small but my tanks not that big and ive been searching for them since. What are there predators im thinking maybe something ate them?

No, they hide a lot, especially when you first put them in there. Check out your tank at night with a flashlight and I'm sure you'll see them.

X2, they are hiders especially when first introduced. Do check at night and you will see them. I introduced 3 into a 45 gallon when I first got into saltwater and the only time I would ever see them is with a flashlight. Now, I've got 12-18 of them in my 90 and they hang out in little groups all over the tank so you might want to throw in a few more.

When I first added mine I saw it like twice a week for the first couple of weeks. Now he's all over the place all the time, he's the most outgoing of all my shrimp.
