Now that you mention it, I think this started when he was in the process of the moult. It looked like it was taking a long time or he was eating his his moult, but it seemed to happen right after. I researched a bit online and it says bad moults can stem from not enough calcium in the water, but my gH and kH are both already pretty high, not sure what to do here Oddly, it seemed like he recovered a bit since I saw him using his arms to eat a bit. Is recovery possible from this stage? Anything I can do?

No this is an office tank with no window. There's actually a flourescent light that's on 24/7 though, so that could be it. I had a lot of floaters but I remove them every once in a while because they start blocking all the light which is already a pretty weak light. Do you not think it's a phosphate problem?

I can't unfortunately. I'll have to get a macro lens for my iphone (any you suggestions?) If you look at the attached video, you'll see him in an odd position where I thought he was definitely dead with his legs sprawled out His head seems to have gotten a bit more clear while his body/tail has remained opaque. He doesn't forage like the other shrimp, but seems to be able to move his mouth. Again a discerning feature is his antennae/nose is drooping down, almost as if he's depressed

I thought this shrimp was a goner for a while, but it's been approx 3 days and he's still alive, but moving around in the same spot. Oftentimes I'll find him in the HC and I think he's dead but then he moved a bit. His lefts look a bit sprawled out and his antennae seems to be drooping. I don't see any parasites on him and he doesn't respond to snowflake food while his other shrimp friends do. What's going on? IMG_2071.MOV

Wanted to give everyone an update. I went with a black out and didn't dose anything I covered the tank with a cardboard house I made and shut off the timer for 10 days. I don't have a before picture of before the blackout, but I basically had algae everywhere, from the top of the tank all the way down to the substrate and floating around the java moss. On Day 10, it looked like 99% of the algae died and balled up into two balls (very interesting phenomenon, with one giant ball on the left. I was able to just take my hand and scoop out all the most of the algae resulting in a very clear tank. As far as I can tell, all of my shrimp are accounted for, including the shrimplets who are more juvie sized now (I keep CRS in this tank) I'm starting to get some algae back again, I'll probably add a phosphate reducer and maybe start dosing PK (no N) for the plants

No dosing at all. Light is on a timer 11AM to 6PM. I'm currently on black out day 3. If it doesn't work I will try elevate's product and let you know how it works A tear down is my last resort

I can't believe I missed that. Doesn't say in the decription, but one of the answers does I guess. I have a TON of hair algae. I've tried pulling with my hands, but I can only get so much and it keeps coming back extremely quick. Nitrates are pretty much 0, there are only 3 CRS with some babies in a 6G. I'll try the blackout method, might have to tear down if it doesn't work. Thanks for making sure my shrimp don't die

This is what I'm dosing: https://www.amazon.com/DrTims-Aquatics-Waste-Away-Aquarium-Aquariums/dp/B003I5QRVA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490296764&sr=8-1&keywords=hair+algae Should I be worried about anything? Should I remove my shrimp and place them in another tank in case? There are some shrimplets that I'm not sure I can get out. My tank is absolutely infested with hair algae as well, so i'll have a hard time getting the shrimp out if I decide to do it.

Are these really rilis? They look like blue dream neos.. Nevertheless, interested and PMed

I would advise against the betta. They are known predatory fish and probably kill your adult shrimps and any babies it can find
