Spinning larvae?

Post by shrimpy4 »

Has anybody had a larvae spin in circles constantly and it not be a problem?

I have about a dozen in my tank now, still in their floating vertical phase, and one is just constantly spinning himself counterclockwise for at least the past few hours. He’s pale too, not red. I’m worried he’s in distress and there’s just not anything I can do about it. Everybody else in the tank seems fine.

I've never seen that but I have seen them start to move more and even swim horizontally right before they become actual shrimp.
