ok, i've been having a really bad day. i've lost 3 of my red crystal shrimps and my last tgier shrimp today alone and i have no idea why. they just lose colour and die. the amano's and cherry shrimps in the tank seem fine.
ammonia, 0
nitrite, between 0.25 and 0 (i know this is a possible factor, but it was alot higher earlier and yet they're only dying now)
nitrate, between 0.5 and 0
pH 7.2
tank 28l
temp, 26c. i thought this was too high so i reduced it. (could this be a problem? should i turn it back up?)
anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to stop it?
also, i have some shrimps coming by post tomorrow. should i put them in my big tank till the problem is sorted out?
