greedy death?

i was trying a new food for my 2bristle nose cats ( shrimp pellets) just 4 little pellets as i turned the lights out, i did see a ghost shrimp run, grab and runaway with one.
next morning 1 of 8 shrimp is very dead and white, could it have eaten to much and died or just . ??

I read they're susuptable to high nitrates, that's what I think I lost mine to.
Are you sure it didn't just molt?

I thought that one of my shrimps were dead when I woke up until I did a head count and all were accounted for. Turns out, one of the shrimps merely molted. The white carcass as you descibed is most likey the molted skin from one of your shrimps (its all natural part of shrimp life). If it were a dead shrimp, it would turn pink ( I forgot why)

Hope thats it!!!

I'm sorry you lost your shrimp, they're cool little things.
When mine died, they turned very white, not pink.
Oh and 1 went mia.
