half molted dead bamboo?

Post by slanteye14 »

Hi, i'm new and kind of confused.

I have two bamboo shrimp, and both decided last night that they wanted to molt together.
I found 1 whole shrimp molt and a second not quite whole.

one shrimp was hanging out stretching his legs, while the other one was no where to be found.
but after about an hour i noticed an upside down shrimp... :(
is that a bad sign?

i netted it and stuck it in a baby net, but i don't see any signs of movement or breathing. and it looks to a bit of the molt is still stuck on its head...

its been a few hours now and i don't see it moving...
dead right? :( dang

is it because it got stuck in its molt? water everything is fine. all its body parts are still there, no one ate it.
