cleaner shrimp died

i was adding my new cleaner shrim and i was going to add him and he was dead any info why?

 

Hey ! Chap...! Did it die before or after addition to Your display tank?!

 

it died befor

 

Where was the shrimp before? BTW, sorry for your loss!!!!

 

i was acclamating him and then when i was gona put him in the tank he died

 

That sounds weird. Many things could have happened. Extreme temp changes, was dying anyways when you got him, the quality of your water might be the logical choice. What are your water parameters?

 

there is a little bit of nitrate in it are they not tollerant of it at all

 

hmm. take it back to the LFS for a refund. if i bought a cleaner shrimp, which are like $30 each over here in PA, i would sure as hell want a refund if it died.

 

most tanks have a little no3, yours must be really high or you have a problem with amnonia or nitrites.

 

take him back for sure, that too much for it to die like that! was he moving alot when the LFS bagged him?
