im having major issues with my peppermint shrimp dying. Before Harvey my pair were doing great. Babies all the time and super active. Every since I moved the tank I lost that pair along with theee others. My coral banded shrimp and pistol shrimp are doing great as are all my fish. I’m just not sure what’s going on. I’m going to my friends that is babysitting my tank tomorrow. Going to take water sample to kids to get a test done to see if anything is off. My tank is a 29 gal cube and it was a FOWLR tank until I hade some mushrooms hitchhike in on some live rock. The tank is a year old and I have only lost one fish( it was killed by another fish who I gave away) and my short spined urchin who passed soon after I had to move the tank. Any ideas as to what might be happening ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Not only do I love watching peppermint shrimp their babies were a great natural food source for my fish.
Thanks in advance

It may have just gotten to the end of it's life, breeding takes a toll on their little bodies and I think they don't live long to begin with.
