Should i get rid of my shrimp? It's really taking the biscuit now. The tetras look all healthy aswell!

Here's a pic

Hmm, I'm not sure how that can happen unless the shrimp trapped them somewhere. But usually if tetras are in danger they move swiftly and fast. Did you ever see it catch the tetras and eat it or did you just find it eating the tetras? If so, the tetra might of died before the shrimp even got to it.

What type of shrimp is that?

It looks like a glass shrimp or if there not the same they might be ghost shrimp.

Hmm, this looks rather suspicious. Can you give us the pH, GH, Ammonia, Nitrate, and Nitrite readings?


If the fish are healthy and the waters fine, all I can think of is that a fish has attacked and killed your tetras, or that Shrimp is a Long-Arm shrimp. They eat fish and soon will shed and grow larger and turn a blue colour.
