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?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I had a heater stick on awhile ago, first thing that died where the shrimp. Seems they are pretty temperature sensitive. I second the possible temperature shock.

I know we get some shrimp in lately that didn't like the transition to Edmonton water. My supplers replaced them for us though.
