Hii,

So, i've just gone into my fish room and noticed my fire shrimp lay on it's back underneath the toadstool it sits on, I had squirted water at it gently to see if it moved but it didn't so I got my hand in there to pick it up and felt faint movement from it's legs. I have sinced moved it into the sump and shone a torch on him and he moved his legs but is still lay on it's back.

Is it dying? Dead? Molting?

No pictures sumps in blacked out
