ive never experienced this; does anyone have the 'stages' of it? like, coloration, activeness etc?

hmmm im not so sure, but i think they become kinda cloudy looking.
Like when snakes or ADF shed skin.... But someone else could
probably help you better than me. (Im not 100% sure),

im not sure if its dead or molting. its cloudy, but not moving. ;\!

Maybe you should go poke it, or maybe his already finish molting.

nuh uh, it turned a bit pinkish. its dead. gave it to my gf to eat it. my guppy tank; where the shrimps are now is 80F...
...so many the heat killed it? i need to drop ice into the water to cool it....

Sorry about your shrimp, Ya you should be careful with some heaters.
Plus since its summer you should be turning down your heaters alittle.

it doesnt have a heater. lost three shrimpies so far. :| i dont use heaters at all.

I gave up on ghost shrimp None of mine have ever lived long after they molt *sniff* One did make it almost a week after it molted but didn't look so healthy after it shed it's skin. My last one molted and died the next morning All of them I've had (except the one that lived almost a week after it molted) were in water that averaged about 75F.

Good luck with your shrimp! I just loved them, but I don't want to buy anymore since they don't seem to live after molting *sniff*

another one died.

that makes it 4 dead and about 6-7 left. two are pregnant. oh gosh. theyre so hard to keep up! ><!!

oh my gosh, the brigs are eating the dead shrimps. >:|

Maybe water levels?

you mean params? doubtful cause i clean the tank daily with 10% water changes.

yay! david is happy today. xD

the big pregnant shrimpy just released 8hatchlings, theres more in her sack. yay!

heh, i think that just pretty much ignoring them in a bigger tank(with hiding places) is your best bet. mine are still going strong and reproducing from the original 10 or so i bought months and months ago...

theyre fighters there raith....theyll have babies at a rate greater then the deaths

mine are having a great time of having deaths. well. ill release this female back to the 10gal. im still tired. *yawn*
