My beloved fire shrimp

[sid2003]

Died! I got home from school today only to find my frire shrimp dorothy on her side motionless. I am so upset!

 

[sggavin]

maybe it molted?

 

[the claw]

I'm pulling for you. Think positive thoughts. It could be a molt. She might hide for a day or two.

It may just be a molt ,I always think my sally light foot is dead because of its molts.Im hoping for you though.

Mine molted and it stuck to the filter. I thought it died too. But, 2 days later there she was!

She died! I think it was b/c she didnt get enough food. The food never made it to the bottom of the tank. I have to get another one though theyre too pretty not to have! Ill just have to keep some dried seaweed for the next one. My crabs will like that too!

I know the feeling, I lost my Cleaner b/c of low sal. It felt very bland while "Fred" was gone. Even though I bought a new one, It will never replace him.

i was thinking about my hermits when i thought about the seaweed. But your right the shrimp would starve on a seaweed diet.

Sorry for your loss =(

Get some food that sinks....some little sinking fish food waffers. Don't over feed, but throw in a couple when you feed your fish. My fish eat all the food before it hits the bottom so I have to do this or my shrimp and crabs may starve.
