How long has it been missing ? They love to hide, lucky to see mine once a week or longer. Did you acclimatize him real slow ?

I use to have 3 cleaner shrimps 1 peppermint
then over the course of a year the peppermint was gone then 2 cleaners...
i think sometimes is expected that ur tankmates will attack/eat them...
is like sticking 10 guys in a jail cell.. someone will fight and be injured or die..
lol

peppermints dont like bright light, so are mostly nocturnal in our tanks.....
