Aquarium Advice FINatic
Let's not make this a big deal, but I would love to learn to avoid it in the future:
A pair of red cherry shrimp were given to me and placed on an aquacube 7.5 gallon. They were doing well, eating their algae, playing arround, being active.
I har to rescape my cube with ADA Aquasoil, so to avoid the exposure to ammonia I placed them on my empty 39Gallon breeder. Treated water, good temperature, but very little green for them.
I immediately added a few plants as floaters and today I received a nice tennis ball size moss in the mail.
Well, 24hrs has passed, and they seem very weak. They are slow, the male was already belly up even though he is still alive. There is a stone pumping air, I don't believe it is O2 levels being low, but could be it.
I added a freshly cut zuquini (sp.?), they ignore it.
The female is so lethargic I can touch her if I can.
Any suggestions?
