Think i killed my shrimp!!

[Jim_Leyland]

i was zapping some apista with some joe's juice the day before i bought my peppermint shrimp... lets say there was some juice left on some rock or half dead apista and the shrimp was eating it.. did this cause him to die?! i only had him for a day!! he was fine went i left for work came back and he was gone .. any thoughts on this would be great.. thanks!

Hi,

He might still be there in the rocks somewhere. Shrimp like to hide if they are new to the tank. I don't know if the Joe's juice would kill a shrimp?

no hes dead lol.. i posted in the new to hobby spot also and someone told me that they have major veins in their legs.. i found him on the Power Head with some of his legs in it but after i took him off he was fine.. thinking maybe one of em broke or something? dunno

they (shrimp in general) are also very salt sensitive and require a slow and long aclimation.
