At least you still can see the dead body, all my 3 CS MIA. Most likely

It will be better if you can provide the LS stocklist in your tank. Chiller or nor?

[lightningstrike]

my blood shrimp died of me when i did a water change. not sure if that had caused a shocked to that poor fella. this fella was VERY healthy...

Anyone know what's the lifespan of a shrimp. I have a pair with me for a year already. Lazy fellow. Don't seem to help cleaning my fish.

its the fish that got tired of being cleaned by CS.

Me too....my blood shrimp just die suddenly on me......sigh!.....big one some more......dont know what is the reason......

Could it be the shrimp have eaten the carcass of a dead fish which is infected by ich?? I saw it feeding on my dead anthias...which I believe was killed by the ich....sigh!

[kschew1498]

Kurt Cobain....my apologies for hijacking your thread.....I have the similar experience so.....

[IcecruncherZ]

ksChew> I had the same experience before lehz, saw my CS feeding on my dead Bartlett... dead subsequently

[kschew1498]

Is it??? $@##%^#.....my other blood shrimp recently just had a feast on my Brown Tang.....same same .....died because of ich......

Hopefully nothing happen to my shrimp.....

[patrick123]

When my sohal tang first introduced, it has ich. It was the CS who cleaned him up. So how come the CS is still alive? I don't think ich can kill the CS. May be it is some other poison in the fish that killed it.

[IcecruncherZ]

I was thinking possibly parasites or toxins. Well, possibly just a coincidence

for all the advise out there...check again all water parameters...semms ok.....guess have to live with one cleaner shrimp for now...hmmmm.maybe end of the month will be going shrimp hunting ... to bepaired with my existing CS.....or maybe a fire shrimp!!! ...thanks all reefers for the contribution...cheers...
