Sick Red Devil

Question
Hi Ron---my 2-yr-old Red Devil (about 7") suddenly got a very red head, stopped eating, and looked tired in the past 4 days.  I gave it some new frozen shrimps to eat prior to that.  I don't know if that has to do with the problem or it's sustaining a head injury.  What shoud I do?  Thx.

Larry

Answer
Hi Larry,
  Feeding your red devil shrimp can make it go redder, but that isn't a problem, in fact, that is the way they are supposed to be.  Red devils use the orange/red pigments found in shrimp and other foods to give them their red color.  The fact that it looks tired may be unrelated.
