My tank has been set up for about a month now, with 7 baby zebra danio. They've recently got to a size where i think it's safe to put some cherry shrimp into the tank to keep the bottom clean and make it a bit more lively. I also bought some plants to provide food and somewhere to hide (a cabomba and a moss ball, also a clipping of a plant which i got with the fry off my brother, not sure what it is) I added the plants and substrate (i previously had none to make cleaning easier while they were fry) i then added the cherry shrimp. At first they were very lively and made a brilliant addition, however after a day they are now barely moving. they tempereature is set at 24, but i dont think this is the problem, i don't think the water was cycled properly? I have a well established goldfish aquarium, would it be safe to use some cycled water from this tank in a seperate 2.5 gallon tank in order to save the shrimp until the tank is fully cycled? I weant to act quickly to save them, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
