Sneaky or dead?

I added a skunk shrimp and a fire shrimp to my tank. I already had a skunk shrimp so he makes two. Well, I see the fire shrimp, but no skunk shrimp. My other skunk shrimp is always out in the open. It's been 3 days now and I haven't seen him. Is this normal behavior?

 

I would just give it more time. Sometimes shrimps will molt after shipping. If you have not tried looking at night you may want to try that as well.

 

+1 on all of that.

 

I agree, I got a new shrimp and he didn't venture out during the day for two weeks. He was out at night though.

 

size tank? im suprised that one skunk and fire are doing good together unless its like 50+
nvm saw the signature yeah hes probably just finding a spot for himself thats what mine did

 

Yeah, the fire shrimp and skunk shrimp do fine together. I have a few peppermint shrimp I added to for aiptasia. I actually have seen one or two of those hanging from rocks...no skunk yet. I'll check at night. He is the same size as my other, but I don't think they'd fight anyways. I'll give him some time. I think I remember my first one taking a little while to get warmed up. My old one seems to be super active, but it took him a few months to really get bold during the day.
