Zombie Shrimp

[372xp]

I think one of my blue shrimp is a zombie. I found him lying on his side to all intents and purposes, dead. I will shift him when I do a water change tonight, took the dog out, came back and he was gone! Ahh there he is on his side in the middle of the tank, the current must have moved him. Later, hes on his feet by a moss ball. No hes dead, I'll just poke him. Not dead now he is on the bog wood, whats going on?
Is this just some wierd blue shrimp behaviour or is he undead?

Sounds like a zombie shrimp to me. Maybe he's just having a hard time at the moment XD

No not Zombie Shrimp. Kill it now before the becomes a wide spread situation and we all die :O

Mine do this, it's very annoying, although they did it more when the plants ate all of the magnesium in the water and the GH dropped off a little more than I'd intended. Anecdotal, but might be worth checking the water stats.

Omg, it's begun...


Everyone grab a gun or whatever you can to arm yourselves... I always knew I'd go out fighting mass amounts of zombies....
