So i came home today and found two dead shrimp, im not sure how they died, the only thing i can think of is a few days ago my tank hit 68 dagree's for a few hours but all my sps,fish and everything lived, any ideas? do you think i should get some more shrimp?
 
some one told me once if you PH dips or rises that shrimp are the first to go especially any type of cleaner shrimp.
 
I run my tank at any where from 81-83 i find the best resualts, and they were fine for about 2 months then this happened and i find a dead one only thing i can think of might of caused them to kick the bucket.
 
Did you find a dead shrimp or a "Molt"? Shrimp shed their outer shell as thet grow.
 
No it was a dead shrimp (peperment) i could still see its it's insides.
