Hi,
4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really passive, doesn’t eat and is very skittish. He also looks a bit off now. He has a white ring wrapping its middle (white ring of death?) and his intestines are white (could be of starvation). Water parameters seem fine:
Nitrate: <1
Phosphate: 0.01
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
pH: 8.3
Salinity: 1025
Alk: 7.8
Calc: 380
I also noticed that one trochus snail keeps flipping itself. I’ve found some articles which describe this behavior and that this could be a sign that the parameters are off or just random. Could just be a coincidence but I don’t know. I low key start to get a bit worried.
