I have 2 sets of paired tiger pistol shrimps and yellow watchman gobies for the past year. They have their own territories in the tank and live happily. Both paired sets had complex tunnel systems with multiple opening for the gobies to poke their heads out. And the TPS were constantly digging all day long moving tons of sand.
About 10 days ago, I found 2 molted shells from the pistol shrimps. Since then, both TPS have disappeared and the two YWG are swimming around the tank. YWG are swimming around because the TPS not digging any longer and the holes are completely filled in.
It seems odd that both TPS have gone missing at the same time. Could they be dead? Or they hiding after molting? Has anyone seen this happen before? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
