  1. I believe this is just what happens sometimes when a shrimp dies. There’s a red protein that unravels when they die, which gives it a pink hue. Basically, I don’t think it was directly related to the reason your shrimp died.

  2. I had one die recently that had similar pink/brown spot. I’m interested to see what people say!

  3. This is what dead shrimp look like

  4. Maybe rust disease?

  5. Curious about this as well

  6. Yeah they just turn that color when they’ve been dead for a little while, doesn’t have anything to do with the cause of death, just means the death wasn’t super duper recent. Takes from at least a couple hours up to a day from my experience, for Neocaridina that is.
