Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
nitrate 0 (recent water change)
GH 275PPM
PH 8
i got them a little over a week ago.
one died one day when the tank PH was much higher and the GH was much higher.
then I used distilled water to bring the PH down and it stayed at around 8. I also brought the hardness from 400ppm to 275 ppm over the course of a few days.
after said few days
i was JUST looking at one of the shrimp. alive and well. come back 5 minutes later. dead.
I've raised cherry shrimp in this tank NO problems. no special treatment. not one death.
I even have cherry babies that were born in the tank before i even got the Blue Dream Velvet shrimp. they survived all the changes no problem. they do just fine.
what the heck is happening to my little buddies!?
