Cleaner shrimp died

[Opticat]

My cleaner shrimp died today, I think it died while molting had it for 6 months now, should I be worried about my other livestocks? Parameters seemed fine when i checked it earlier.

The first thing to check is if it's actually dead (because it could be a molt). Without knowing what your actual water parameters are and your other livestock is, it would be really hard to answer that question.

" Parameters seemed fine" is not good enough please post them here! It will help us all in the long run.
Also, it might help to post a picture of the specimen. Hope this helps.

Yeah it's dead, already removed it. I think it failed to molt.

Params are
Ammonia, Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Salinity: 1.023
Temp: 26-27c°
Ph: 8.0

I can't provide any pics anymore threw it away. When I removed it looked like it failed to get out of its skin. Though it may also be old age cause when I got the shrimp it was already big.

Pretty normal. You could check your phosphate levels, but I'm not anticipating anything off. Sometimes inverts just fail to molt properly. Other than checking your iodine levels, I'm not sure you'll gain any more insight.

If you're doing typical 10% every 1-2 week water changes most of your trace elements should be replenished (including iodine).
