Help! Scared Of Brineshrimp?

[spazzinout53]

Ok so i gave my fish , molly and guppies, brine shrimp today, a little more then normal
20 minutes later when i come back all the fish are hiding and swiming in place
the water was a little cold so i didnt know if they were cold, or just scared
I did a water change immidatly taking out all the brine shrimp they didnt eat and i used slightly warmer water.
the fish are now out and about but still sorta standing still sorta shimmiing

I was going to try to go to my lfs to get some aquarium salt thinking they needed the electrolites, but i called and they were out

HELP PLEASE
thank u!

Salt doesnt cure everything Dont use something that you dont need and hope that it will cure it because thats a recipe for disaster. Just wait it out

You didn't add the brine shrimp water with the brine shrimp, right?

Do you have a heater in your tank.
Look under shimmies.

I drained the brineshrimp, And yes i have a heater in the tank

Now it seems like whenever i turn the light on the start to get all scared, and when i turn it off the become normal agian, hmm wonder why. Well for now i just turned off the light, and aquarium clean and brineshrimp in one day might have startled them? what evr.

Have you checked your temp to see if the heater working ok, as if there was a big drop in temp that could expalin things.

i think the brine shrimp was just a wrong place wrong time, if the water is too cold, its the heater. If you didnt add saltwater to the tank, then its not the brine shrimps fault for skittish fish.
