Hermit Crab and Peppermint Shrimp ? My tank has been up and running now for 4 weeks, I have had a clean up crew in since last Thursday (march 20). I purchased a peppermint shrimp yesterday and spent 1 hour drip acclimating him. I put him in the tank and he seemed to do fine, he found him a hiding place and kinda stayed put, he didnt venture out too much. I woke up this morning and I saw one of my red tip scarlette hermits eatting the shrimp, I dont know if the shrimp just died or it the hermit killed it. Do hermits and peppermint shrimp not get along or is it possible he died from stress of the move from the LFS.
