I have a 20g AIO with 2 scarlets, 2 electric blue & 1 zebra hermit. I used to see all of them regularly but in the last week or so I only see the 2 scarlets & occasionally the zebra.
Last night I overturned a shell that had been in the same spot for well over a week w/o moving & it was one of my blues.. alive. I moved him to the lower side of my scape & this AM the shell is empty?
I have plenty of misc sized shells for growth but this puzzled me. I haven’t noticed any random body parts & haven’t seen any spike in water parameters. Did the two blues die? Of my original 6 hermits they were the aggressors so I actually expected the opposite.
