    Does my Red Rili Shrimp have a disease?

    So a few days ago I noticed my shrimp has some yellowing under his shell. At first my thought was itā€™s the fish food but after looking at it I guess thatā€™s not possible because of where it is? Maybe this is a silly question but I just want to make sure he is ok and doesnā€™t have a disease.

Since then, they have spent a fair bit of time in the Fluval-filter bracket, although they do come out on occasions. Just recently I spotted one of them pedalling...
