One of my RCS is laying down. This is really odd for me because he, and the others, usually always stand on their little legs. But this guy is just laying on his pleodpods with his front legs outstretched (yet, still curled).

Is he dying? Or is he just molting?

Help please?
 
Could be molting, although I've noticed in some tanks where the shrimp were stressed/dying due to some water quality issue they would do that. If it's just one I wouldn't worry about it but if several are doing it then you may have a problem.
