This morning I saw a dead shrimp in the tank, all pink and yucky. It was one of the larger ones so I assumed she just died of old age.
Well just this afternoon I saw another one had died! The others are hiding, I can only find one under the logs. I just did a water change a few days ago and used prime as usual.
The fish are fine (7 mollies and about 30 tiny fry and 3 khuli loaches). I did a water test with my API liquid kit and the water is reading normal.
Could they be sick? I've had them for over two months.

Tank is 45gal planted.
 
I will add that about two months ago, after I got the shrimp, I put in a piece of drift wood from a lake I went too. I boiled it and everything so I would assume it was fine, but I thought I'd mention it.

45 gal. freshwater and 10 gal. female betta tanks
