Hello i have a juvenile blue pearl shrimp laying upsidedown and it is half molted. I thought he was dead so i scooped it up and it started to move but still won't fully molt. Is this normal.is it going to die i did a 4 gal water change today in the tank.and just found this now .....edit sorry forgot to put this in it has been laying upsidedown like that since 10 pm and its now 4:14 am thanks again

Lying upside down for hours is a sure sign that your shrimp is dying (as you should have already noticed by now...).

Yes it did die but not immediately it did fully molt and went to hide.but i fount it dead the next morning
