This is the third skunk shrimp that has died on me. I came home form work today to find his shell as being the only thing left. My cuc was eating his insides. Also I came home to find another zebra dartfish had become carpet lunch Lets just say I was bummed...
Everytime I get a skunk shrimp he lives for about two weeks and then molts a couple times and then dies. Any idea on what might be doing these guys in? All my other inverts are thriving; crabs, snails, btas, pep shrimp and starfish. So I dont think its copper. Any thoughts?
Current fish: foxface, royal gramma, 1 zerba dartfish, perc clown, ocell clown, green mandarin, rainford goby, bta, emerald crab, 3 pom pom crabs, 2 pep shrimp, SS starfish, lots of herms and snails.
I want a pair of skunk shrimp but i'm afraid to add another until I find the culprit.
