Ghost Shrimp Cloudiness of Death?

[agcorb]

I have read a lot about ghost shrimps turning a milky white before dying, but I'm not quite sure if that is what is wrong with this ghost shrimp? It looks more yellow-brown to me rather then white.

He just molted and I change my water every other day. I don't have exact numbers currently because I ran out of tester and am waiting for an order to come in within the next few days.

No, that is not the color, when they start dying the body will turn opaque so you can easily see it. You won't be able to see through it

Do you know what the cause of this is? Is it normal for them to turn like this? I haven't seen one get this dark before, I can still see through him but I just wasn't sure if he was slowly getting that way. Here's another picture of the top view.



You can't see through him too much in this picture because of lighting, but you can still.
