i work for a pet store, and lately every time we get in a shipment of crabs, they are fine in the bags they arrived in, but the instant they touch the new tank water, they freeze up and die. sometimes they twitch around until theyve lost a few legs, and then die......lately ive been dripping them for about 2 hours, and they seem fine in the bucket....but again....the instant they enter the new tank, they seem to get paralyzed, and they always die! i dont know what the heck is going on...this never used to happen. it happens with arrow crabs, emerald crabs, anamone crabs, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp....you get the picture. i would like ANY suggestions.
