Well, the reason I asked is because his shell doesn't look super clear, and his eyes clouded. This could of course mean acclimation but you would know if you find a clear shell floating around with no color--accentuated by your sons possible despair. If so, he's probably in a rock waiting a few days for his shell to grow back.

Pretty much all we can do.

Be very careful putting your hand in the tank or feeding the shrimp by hand.

You may die of cuteness overdose.

If you feed on a regular schedule, once the shrimp sees you come to the tank, it may do the cleaner dance for you.

He already did the little butt in the air dance. Soooo cute. I think the fish are explaining what a minion is...
