Oops! OK, thanks for the tip!

Hi- another update- the shrimp is now feeding normally! I am so relieved! Thank you all for your help!

PS- I don't think the water is very hard, I add a little sea salt to it.

Hi- I have a question about bamboo shrimp. I got one about a month ago and about 2 weeks ago it molted. It was brown when I got it and is now reddish pink. I am concerned about it as it has not been filtering the water ever since it molted. It sits in one spot all the time with its fans closed. I re...
