ive been speaking to shrimpking and shrimps that are pregnant or coming of age often die and often you can be left with all males. ive removed almost all of my rocks, indian almond leaves, and anything else I can find that may upset the water to reduce any risk.I am also now doing 15% water...

yeah just use the montromilinite clay i was telling you about. Search for shirakura mineral powder and it will last ages as only a very small amount is needed

here is my system, you dont need to have the barrels if your stuck for space. di-resin chamber might be the best way to go all round and will last a good while on a small tank plus you can move it out the way when not in use.

what temps do you have. I have lost 2 crs this week (1 with eggs) to high temps. Also might be worth investing in some deionized RO water. Try also buffering your water with montromilinite clay but only a tiny bit as it goes a long way. I also find 40% water changes work well once a week. Here...
