Cleaner Shrimp Hiding
I've had my cleaner shrimp for about 5 months now and for about the past two weeks he's become very reclusive and is always in hiding. I can see him, but he isn't out and about and is at the back of the tank.
He used to be very active and outgoing and used to clean my hand but now he won't even do that! Two weeks ago I added a Solar Fairy Wrasse and this was about the same time he started being secretive. I haven't seen the Wrasse bother him, and he's undamaged, and their hidey-holes are pretty close together. I doubt the Wrasse is bothering him. Any ideas as to why he's acting this way and how I can bring him out/ make him feel better? Thanks! |

Catch the wrasse, stick it in a 10 gallon for a day and see what happens to the shrimp.

Sometimes when there about to molt, they will hide.

It has molted during its two week hide.
Pmolan - It's a good idea but I don't want to stress out my wrasse. |

Shrimp usually hide a couple of days after molting to allow their fresh exoskeleton to harden.
