Tank has been set up for several months. It previously housed a betta. Most of these plants were put in a month or two ago. I don’t know what my KH/GH is. I feed them shrimp pellets and some of the Shrimp King pellets. I change water weekly with 10-25% changes.
Not the best picture, but this is the tank. I have crushed Indian almond leaves lying around to help reduce stress. Some of the shrimp spend all day in the moss and cabomba.
Could bright light be causing stress which then causes death? I just darkened the light a bit and a few of the shrimp immediately became more active. I have a Finnex Planted Plus on this tank which is quite bright.
I read that Thrive was shrimp safe. Looking at the ingredients it has 0.0002%...
The cherry shrimp that I had ordered arrived on Friday. I slowly drip acclimated them and added them to the tank. Yesterday I noticed one dead shrimp and today I noticed another. I’ve also noticed a shed.
Water Parameters:
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 0ppm (Planted)
pH - 7.4...
Hey everybody! I am new to this site and I thought I’d introduce myself. I’ve been in the fish keeping industry for quite some time now, and I even got around to making a small YouTube channel today. Hopefully I can get some help on what to post on that channel.
I guess I should list my tanks...
