I bought two ghost
shrimps about 2 months ago and put them into my fish tank. They were
great for a couple of weeks; I called them foggy and misty sunset because
one was greyish and one was slightly more translucent but slightly reddy-orange.
All was well until one day I found foggy in the next room, about 7 meters
away, curled up in front of the TV looking like a prawn that you might
buy at the supermarket - curled up and pink (I promise you I hadn't
cooked him). I am amazed at how a shrimp can have escaped my tank and
hopped/bounced/swam (?!) all the way to my TV. Now, the plot thickens...
I then found the tail of misty sunset at the bottom of my tank. I don't
know what happened to him - but someone enjoyed the meal. I have since
bought some red-clawed crabs to replace the shrimp. The crabs seem happy,
though they spend extended vacations in the pump housing and need to
be rescued occasionally.
