Actually I find few shrimp corpses, cause fish consider it fresh meat. I have found discarded skin when they have shed, I believe that makes them more vunerable to attack. Since they are relatively inexpensive, and usually sold for feeders, I don't worry about their populations that much. Right now in my 10q I seem to have a stable population of ghost shrimp, but I don't think I have any fish that just live for a live shrimp dinner.
