    They found the shrimp in the sump and thought it was dead. When they saw it wasnt they put it in the quarantine tank but it wont stand, its only laying on its back. Do we have any advice on treatments, websites, or medicines. Any help would be appreciated.

    That said I am not sure what could be done.

    I dont think that theres anything that you can do. There are very few times when we can actually do something to help our tank mates. He also may be molting, just keep an eye on him, you never know.

    Sorry about that. If its the fish picking at the shrimp, try picking a bigger one next time. Im in the process of trying to find a big Cleaner Shrimp b/c my Eng. Goby keeps on having them for lunch.

    Luna,

    Are you saying that Eng. Gobies eat shrimp? My cleaner shrimp about 3 inch long has been missing for a week now and I am not sure what happened to it. I did however catch my Eng. Gobies stanch a nassarius snail off the glass a week ago though.
