So I have a shrimp/prawn with no ID, she's been with me for 2 months and she was young when I got her. She lives alone, her tank has sand as the substrate, driftwood to hide/climb about, java moss in a terracotta pot. Her tank is heated and also has a filter, a few days ago she lost her ferocious appetite. As she is clear I can see her 'stomach' which is normally full and curved. The red part is what I am refering to as her stomach so you can get an idea of what I am talking about, it's normally the shape in the picture (this is an example taken from other forums) but now it's sunken right down and I can hardly see it.
I have tried all her favorite foods, she eats a little bit and then spits it back out and continues to look for food, when she finds some she eats a bit and spits it back out, after a few tries she stops. She isn't lethargic and is looking healthy apart from her stomach, so I thought my water parameters would be the problem but they're in good nick. She is still going crazy over the food; as soon as it goes in the tank she throws herself towards it. Thanks in advance!
