I've had my shrimp for 2 monts now, with no problems until now.
I just found one of the bigger, redder shrimp lying on its side on a leaf - it seems darker than normal, and can't keep balance. Its legs are still moving and it can dart about when a fish gets near, but it has no sense of direction and tends to loop straight back to the floor.
The other shrimp (I have 10) seem to be absolutely fine, eating as normal.
Is this a sign of chemicals in my tank? I know shrimp are normally the first to go
It does seem strange that there's only one suffering though.
