Stinkin' Cleaner Shrimp
So today I bought a cleaner shrimp.
He was looking great in the store and even after I drip acclimated him he looked fine. He was hanging out on a rock.... and I kid you not.... he literally just seized up and rolled onto his side while I was watching him. I asked my wife to come see the new addition and HE FRICKEN FLOPPED OVER!?!?!? Just like that?!?
WTF??!?!
Everything else in my tank (inverts included) are fine and I have lost nothing since starting to add livestock 3 weeks ago.
The water has tested fine so I can't understand what the heck happened. I know shrimp can be sensitive to change... but the fact he literally keeled over while I was looking at him?????
Anyone seen this happen before?
