I have had the shrimp for over a month but they seem to every few days slowly turn white, be unable to move their body, then when completely white, die. Their legs never stop moving. They are not all dying it's just one at a time and they end up looking like shrimp cocktail. There is.a possibility the dwarf puffer had a hand in this.
 
I wish, but the puffer gets a full meal out of them when they stop moving.
