Have RCS and the group is doing fine. Noticed one guy on his side, not able to swim well. Put him in breeder box in the tank to observe, and he has been like this all day. He is moving around, but seems unable to orient himself properly. Always on his side. His little legs are moving a lot, not sure if he is feeding, or what.
At first I hoped maybe he was trying to molt, but I seriously doubt that is the issue. Other shrimps in the tank are molting OK ( I don't see them do it but find the debris), so I think my water is fine.
Don't think he could have gotten damaged on decor, and my filter intake has sponge prefilter. Perhaps the legs on one side of body were damaged? They are pretty hard to see because they are so small, but they do not look damaged.
Any other ideas?
