I recently broke my tank stand and had to get a new one, long story short everything including the water and filter is from the previous tank.
My shrimp were completely fine and happy in my old tank, since I got new I changed all the plants and rocks etc and now they are dying about 1-2 a day for the past couple days and no matter what I do they don't get better. My PH is dropping which is probably causing them a lot of stress I do not have a completely accurate it used to be a stable 7.0ish but now my test only goes as low as 6.0 so it could be lower than that.
First of all what type of things can drop the pH like this ( I have clay rocks if that helps ) and what can I use to naturally raise the pH?
I've added a picture simply in case you wanted to see the layout and if you saw anything that shouldn't be in there, like the amount of clay rocks.
ps. if you're wondering where the shrimps are they are all hid behind the filter for some reason. The tank temp is 25C so they can't be cold. Also any more information needed just say and I'll do my best, I'm panicking right now because I hate seeing them die like this.
