So i have been trying forever to care for red cherry shrimp but no matter what they seem to all die off. This is the third set of red cherry shrimp
i have bought and two have already died out of the five. They are in a 20 gallon long aquarium with a couple of plants including dwarf baby tears, java moss, and anubias nana. This is a species only aquarium. As far as i know the copper is too low to be detected by my api copper test kit so i don't know what the problem is. I also do 20% water changes every week. The lighting is a finnex planted plus 24/7 and the substrate is seachem flourite black sand. The shrimp only seem to die one at a time and they usually die at night. Every morning I find a another one dead. I previously had ghost shrimp in this aquarium and they were completely fine. I switched to rcs and now they are dying. If anybody can help, please do.
