Rip my CBS

Well my first shrimp ever died. Found his skeleton this morning, I'm thinking bad molt because he molted yesterday and dead today, I bought this shrimp in June of 05, now I probably won't get another until the new tank is ready, he was a pain to catch every time we moved but was a model citizen except for the occansional hermit crab lunch.

Really old pic of him


Sorry, had to do a little memorial, he's made it through three tank moves and years of me messing up the tank with him in it so I felt he deserved it, anybody else have long lasting inverts?

Tank seems empty without him, he lived under my pagoda cup mostly, I really want to add something but don't want to worry about moving it. I used to have an arrow crab when I first started, that thing was cool but loved hermit crabs, especially the expensive scarlets! The CBS was a James request so he's bummed about it.

Sorry to hear about your shrimp...how is the new tank set up coming anyway? What color did you end up painting that room?

Haven't painted yet, I went and got a bunch of samples but I'm awful at picking colors, just not my area of expertise and I have no patience for it. I'm trying to get a friend of mine to come over and give me some ideas. Tank is backordered for who knows how long and I'm broke! I've been putting together a list of all the equipment I need and trying to buy some of that stuff. Big tanks are so much more involved than my little nanos!
