Over the last week I've been noticing my cherry shrimp are one by one cracking in half behind the there heads and then dying shortly after. What is causing this and how can I stop it? PLZ HELP
 
A few neon tetras and a couple black skirt tetras. And a bristlenose
 
Maybe the pleco or the tetras are picking at them/trying to eat them.
 
No I've been watching closely and they ignore them. I'm thinking it's some sort of molting problem maybe?
 
Sorry was just able to get a test kit. The gh was 6 or 7and the kh was 5 or 6. Test was hard read. I moved some of the shrimp to a new tank and they have been fine the others continue to slowly die
