currently i have ghost shrimp in my tank. theyre only 10 for a dollar so when they all die within two weeks i'm not too upset. ive also had amono, rudolph and tiger shrimp yet they all seem to die rather quickly usually after their first molt.
my tank is planted the ph is between 7- and 6.5 which i assume is too soft and acidic for the shrimp to handle. is there anything i can do to raise the chances of my shrimp survival without raising my ph? or is it just lack of calcium in my tank keeping my shrimp from remolting?
my water has zero calcium in it seeing as i use distilled water in my weekly water changes. the distilled water is neutral and helps keep algae away and the tetras like it as well.
