Hi
Ok my tank finished itās fishless six week cycle, I heavily planted it at the time. On week 7 waters still perfect I bought 6 male blue guppies. Iām not that keen on guppies. Too greedy. So if they died it was no great loss to me. 10 days later still got 6 guppies. Over the course of the next 5 weeks every 7/10 days bought a Dragon Scale Betta 8 Golden Barbs 3 shrimp and 6 Neon Tetras and 1 tiny Bristlenose. And a Zebra Snail ? I have a 200l Roma.
anyways, my question is. After 7 days of introduction, I found the Orange shrimp dead. Day 10 after watching the Blue shrimp eating away happily the night before, dead the next morning. The Cherry.. I never found. All other fish all good. Water temp at that time was 24Ā°/25Ā°. They werenāt eaten (unknown with the Cherry one) as I removed the Orange and Blue ones. So question is why did they die ?I do weekly API water tests / changes and jugged the water back in. And since then have read it should of been dripped back in my mistake. Could it of been that I poured the water back in and it caused some kind of stress induced shock. I just donāt know.
