Cameroon Armoured Shrimp

[Thomas A. Anderson]

hi, came home from work and noticed that my cameroon Armoured Shrimp had shed its exoskeleton so it is at the moment almost pure white, but the worst thing is it was also lying on its back upside down.

I went to turn it the right way around and it didn't even move. Even now other fish seem to be nipping at it and it isn't even moving.

Have no practical experiance with shrimp, but I do know they are very vulnerable the first 24 hours after shedding their skin/shell.

It may be possible one of the other tank inhabitants took this opportunity to have a shrimp meal!!!!

Bummer if that's what happened!!!!
