Hello,
Today I found, that my shrimp would not eat, like they used to.
Looking closely, I saw, that many of them have NO MANDIBLES, sometimes no "front feet".
What could be the reasons? what can I do?
- I saw one shrimp being caught in the filter. I helped it out and saw, that the feet were damaged. But I doubt, that it happened to all the others too.
- We got a new floor 2 weeks ago, so I had to move the shrimp - could it be failured molding due to stress?
- also the craftsmen did sprinkle some paint into my Aquarium. I think, very minimal, but maybe that was toxic. But I did not use most of the water, but I had to use the filter.
- my filters went red some days ago. this happened before, I do not know the reason, but last time, it did not affect the shrimp. maybe the Color Comes from dying algae, because I had to move the Lava rocks when we got the new floor in order to move the Aquarium ?
- could it be the salt water? I use the same salt for some years, before, I used to Change it in order to get all the micro-elements.maybe its a lack of anything?
I am desperate, because my shrimp are in the Aquarium since 2011 and they reproduced so well since then. but now, this is a catastrophy.
I just watched a berried shrimp without mandibules and "front feet", it is horrible.
Can anyone help, please?
