Hi Guys,

I've had a cleaner Shrimp for about a year now, he has survived 3 tank upgrades but is now laying in the back corner of my tank not moving, he is still alive as every so often he twitches his legs, is there anything I can do for him?

Just had one pass away recently(old age as it was reaching 7 years old). Average life span is around 3 to 5 years. May have just passed of old age if everything else is OK in your tank.

off topic, but holy crap dude that’s incredible your shrimp made it for 7 years!
 
How long have you had him? They don't have a long life.

Have to say though, not a good idea to be lifting an already ill shrimp out of the water.
