Cleaner shrimp is twitching

[ErinCahir]

The worm is a bristleworm. He's a great member of your clean up crew. You should leave him be.

He is not the cause of your shrimp's death

well I have no idea whats wrong with him. Or my other pep that died. My clown is doing great. If it was ammonia I changed the tank water.

Its the stray voltage, it is a silent but very deadly killer in our tank.

 

[Beastlyness 22]

I completely unpluged all electrical stuff. It hasn't changed any behavior.

chances are its already done its damage,and you can keep the lights on just dont turn on the pumps that are actualy in the water

You should still get a grounding plug but, 3-4 volts into your tank isn't detrimental to the things in there. Most tanks have a couple volts leaking into them. Mine always has about 5 vAC running through it.

I am going to still say its the ammonia that killed your shrimp they are very sensitive to that. The bristle worm probably knows the shrimp is dying and is going to clean up the body it wouldnt kill the shrimp.

Is it possible what your seeing is the molt? I know, it sounds dumb.

I guess this can't be the case?

 

[Beastlyness 22]

Nah its over hes dead. Now my clown looks very sad :( ....I wonder if somthing weird got in the tank. Im thinking of taking the clown to a lfs so he dosent end too.

 

[Beastlyness 22]

Jezz deffinitly taking the clown back he won't even eat and is at the bottom of the tank. I hardley have any algea in the tank. It's been doing great up to this point

Sorry to hear about your troubles. :(

I'm guessing it's the ammonia too.
