Hi guys
I recently moved my 2 fire bellies from their tiny quarantine tank (2.5 G of water) to a 40 gallon breeder with 6-7 inches of water. In the quarantine tank I had also 5 ghost shrimps. I say had because we found pieces of them all over, which we knew was going to happen.
The day we moved our girls (I think they are girls, I need to post a picture for confirmation) we noticed that our fattest one was shedding and she was not using one of her legs, which is at a strange angle.
They are eating, they are shedding and they are real speed demons in this new tank, even with 2 nano filters, even if I was advice to have no filter because they are clumsy and bad swimmers. They climb into plants too, so I am guessing she is not too hurt even with a broken leg!?
Now I watched a video of a FB eating a ghost shrimp and I was wondering if she could have broken her leg in trashing around while killing a large shrimp?
