Ok I will, thanks for the advice.

Is it normal for them to just jump up and lay on their backs? When this happened, they were still alive and died after about 20 minutes.

I have put in the plants when i got the tank.

pH=6.8 carbonate=60 total hardness= 25 The tank is about 4 weeks old and we got the shrimp last Saturday

No they are all red. It is a one species tank so there is no fish.

My nano tank is in a crisis. The cherry shrimp are dropping like flies, but now I'm not even sure if they're dead. The jump and land on their backs, making them appear dead. There are 20ppm nitrates to feed to plants, 0 nitrites and 0 ammonia. Could it be the tannins in the water because the...

Ok thanks!

Do you suggest stop feeding them for a period of time and do a large water change?

Here’s what I hope is a better photo.

Oh didn’t know that thanks…

1. I’m not sure of the gender because I had a female in there before but they didn’t breed and at the same time it has a pointy fin and more streamlined belly so I assume that’s just how it looks. 2. Here’s the pH, total hardness and carbonate levels: pH-7.0, total hardness-100ppm...
