    I have had two fire shrimp living V happily in my tank for about 5 months now. They still appear to be healthy, but recently I've noticed that they have started to lose their colour.

    I'm guessing that this isn't a good sign. Does anyone know what is causing it and what I can do about it?

    Thanks

    Don't know. Haven't got a test for that.

    Looks like I'll have to go shopping again;)
