Today I found one of my shrimp with some broken kegs and he cant cling on to anything or walk
I understand nature will take its course and he will die. But how did he break his legs?

Difficult molt? Damaged during shipping? Cannot say. As long as the shrimp can feed it may survive till next molt.

Does he owe any of the other shrimps money?
That really is bizarre though, I can't imagine how it could've happened. Did you move the tank or add anything heavy that might have landed on him?

No they where all fine from shipping maybe from a molt because I did notice a skeleton.

Can you take any pictures of the shrimp?
