I suspect your mandarin died and your shrimp is "cleaning up". How much LR do you have and what size tank? Mandarins will starve with no pods to eat.

 

[tantaboof]

I have a 56 corner bow. 48lbs LR. I had the mandarin for about 8-9 months. He was doing wonderul. I dont' know what happend. I started this post Last Saturday of my mandarin and the pepperment I woke up Sunday morning, and he was being eaten by my cleaner.... I was sooo heated ! !!

 

[pitbull01]

I dont think u had enough LR. They need like 80-100 lbs. He doesn't look skinny though...

 

[tantaboof]

Someone else told me that too.. But he wasn't skinny at all, and we had him so long....I miss him.

hmm.... :notsure: Sorry for your loss.
