Slimmed peprmint shrimp

[Knowledgeseeker]

Woke up to find pepperment shrimp slimmed and mostly eaten. Three days later by same rock second shrimp, same tragic death. Tank is 16 gallon life cube with crabs, snails and 11 different zoos. All perameters are perfect. Any thoughts as to what is killing my shrimp.

How long are you acclimating for?
Most inverts need the same amount of time or even more than fish to adjust to water conditions.
Also large PH or Ca swings could also be a cause, or a bad(over stressed) shipment of shrimp from your LFS.

How long did you have the shrimp before they died? This isn't a molt, but the actual shrimp you found?

acclimated shrimp for 1 hour. Shrimp were in tank for almost two weeks doing great...
this was not a molt, actual shrimp dead as a door nail
