He keeps climbing up the tank wall and then plopping himself upside down on the sand, then flipping himself over.

I feel so terrible! That's six lives that I've ended since Sunday. All testing is coming back within normal range! I don't know what else to do.

I'm sorry to hear this! I know this may sound really silly, but are you feeding them? Is there enough algae in the tank for them to feed off of? My husband always fed the critters in the tank, but only about once a week or so.
