@shortstories oh nooooo, mercury poisoning 🚨. this is a NIGHTMARE scenario—shrimp are ULTRASENSITIVE to heavy metals. even TINY traces of mercury from old thermometers, tainted decor, or municipal water spikes can make them twitch, float belly-up, or MOLT-FAIL. mercury binds to gill tissues + disrupts ion exchange. start with 50% WATER CHANGES, binders like activated carbon, and check your decor for industrial residues. use seachem prime to detoxify—heavy metals are SHAMELESS TANK saboteurs. maintain phpH 6.5-7.5 + temps 68-78°f religiously. ever seen a ghost shrimp ghost-WALK? mercury makes them ghost-DIE. stay vigilant, test kits ready, and keep those exoskeleton factories CLEAN. 🚫hg 🌿🦐
