75 gallon moderately heavy planted tank. Eheim 2217. Seachem black sand topped with play sand from Lowes.
Ammonia 0-0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
pH 7.2
Well water
This is driving me insane. I need suggestions. Wed night I watched my fish after work. Everything was fine. I trimmed a few leaves from my vals and went upstairs to eat dinner. When I came back down the shrimp were twitching toward the surface and free falling back down to the substrate. I didnt know what just happened so I did a 40-50% water change and turned down my CO2.
The next morning the shrimp were better but stumbling around. I did another 40-50% water change. When I added the new water the started twitching around again. Went to work.
After work they still didnt look right. Did another water change. They started twitching again.
This morning the fish were schooled at the surface. Not really gasping for air but at the surface. Tonite they are still there and have their fins clamped. Did another water change. Shrimp freak out again. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
