Clown Loacher with Ghost Shrimp/I can't find 1 neon tetra?

[star37]

Hey guys. I'm kinda new to this website and so far I like it. but I have a few questions.

1. I want some Ghost Shrimp, but I already have a clown Loacher and I heard they eat shrimp, but would it be okay to have ghost shrimp with the Loacher? even though it still has 30+ snails to eat?

2. I went on vacation and came back and saw one neon tetra missing. (I came back a week ago) and haven't seen it at all. could it have died and the other fish have eaten it? what do you think could have happened?

Thank you so much for your answers and have a good day

Clown loaches will eat shrimp. Also, what size tank do you have? Clown loaches prefer to be in groups, and get huge. You may want to rehome the clown loach and then you could have shrimp!
Fish can die for many reasons, and they are cannibalistic, meaning often dead fish get eaten by tankmates. If a fish dies, I do a water test to make sure my parameters are okay.
