cleaner shrimp died

Have you checked ur amnonia and nitrites lately?

 

I had a brand new cleaner shrimp die on me yesturday.Came from work at nite and my coral banded was munching on him.everytime i buy from the lfs i got him from my fish or coral or inverts die withing 2 or 3 days.im never buying from them again.ill go somewhere else.

 

Sorry for your losses chaps... I'm considering buying 2 or 3 cleaner shrimps. Will try to learn from your experience ...!

Nonetheless, good luck...

 

30.00 for a cleaner shrimp ? You are talking about the yellow /red, white skunk cleaner right and not the blood shrimp or Crimson shrimp ? Man I'd love to have the shrimp concession in Pa LOL..

 

yeah, that is expensive, they sell for around $14.99 here

 

LOL that was why I was asking I sell them for 12.99 and at times less then that depends on the supply of them. as little as 7.99 sometimes.

 

WOW that is cheap tangster. BTW, the nemo is doing great. By the secound day, he/she was already sharing the LTA. As for the Harlyquin shrimps, they already started the attack on the C.C. star and my two sand shifting stars too. They are truely beautiful.

 

Shrimp and all inverts are very sensitive to changes. Acclimation is very important as your tank parameters verses the LFS will be very different. I don't think any LFS would take back an invert with out first knowing the exact conditions of the water and acclimation

Sorry for your loss.

Yea they tested the water and all perfect.they were like you want another one.i said nahhhhhhhh everytime i buy something from them it ends up dead within a day or 2.i always acclimate with the bucket dripping water technique.
