    Default how to tell if you shrimps died for old age?

    I know this may sound silly but how would you be able to tell if your shrimp died from old age? or from other causes? lol... i guess it would help if we could identify causes of mystery deaths in our tanks, so we could better trouble shoot the root causes of it... or if its just that the time has come and they pass on naturally...

    I think when they start complaining about the weather a lot and their children stop visiting them then they die of old age.

    That and they tell you to "keep off the grass".

    Check your GH level, that's a common problem, they'll die during\after a molt.

    Cheers,
