Hi Everyone,
I've kept 3 shrimp in my 56 gallon for over a year now...but last week I lost my Fire Shrimp and this week it looks like I'm losing the other two! I could really use any help and advice out there.
The shrimp seem to be slowly losing buoyancy control, and are walking all around the tank whereas before they hid most of the day. The pistol shrimp which is paired with the goby is basically ignoring the goby and stumbling through the tank.
My parameters are all normal (SG1.24, pH~8, 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 0 Nitrate). I just changed 50% of the water in the tank and it has had no effect. I'm really running out things to try and watching them die on me is heart breaking!
Please Help.
Here is a video of the tank with the shrimp. I just turned the lights on.
