Guppy Died And Now

[james4]

my guppy got traped behind the breeder trap (one did this morning but i got it out ) this other one has died it sank and my shrimp got it and is now eating it
what do i do leave it?

No, take it out. A decomposing body will mess up your water stats.

ok thanks hes stopped now

whayt can i do to stop em moving in there and getting trapped

also one of my red cherry shrimps is staying still i did nudge it and it is still alive but there is a shedded skin i think of the other as he is dead bright but he is pale
werever i move the breeding trap they could still get caught?

Can you just take out the breeder trap?
I don't know what kind you have, but i have some plastic box type ones that have the long sides flat, so if I position it along a wall and let the water tension just hold it there, it's usually not a problem.

ok shrimp shed there exoskeleton and they go clear.

I used to use breading traps but now i would just get some good bushy plants. it is the most non stressfull version.
