cooked amano shrimps! doh!

okay, i come back from a trip to the east coast (gone for three days). look in my 10gallon tank and i see two shrimps..cooked. y'know how when u cook shrimp, they turn to that reddish color? yeah. that's what i had in my tank. two small cooked shrimps. i guess what happened was that they died and since i was gone for three days, they slowly cooked in the water (temperature is about 76Fdegrees).

really sucks..but kinda funny. never thought that stuff could happen. doh!

my shrimp died a while back.. and I figured.. why waste good fish food..

I de-shelled the shrimp, cut up the meat into small pieces, and then feed them to my fishes...

i dunno why the shrimps would turn pink when they die though..

[arcab4]

oh. they turned pink because they were in the tank for so long and the water was warm. so eventually...it got cooked.
