Back in December I bought a used 10 gallon and put a clear
Lid and some LED lights on it, some sand, some gravel, threw some plants in from my 29 and decided a quarantine tank is just too boring.
So I thought I’d get back into cherry shrimp bought like 10 of them in January and they started becoming lethargic and are now all dead except for one young one, most of the ram snails died too but the pond snails seem just fine.
The tests I can do are all great so I don’t understand what the problem could be!
I also made the bad decision of bidding on 2 packs of 20 shrimp on aquabid and one of them is arriving tomorrow so... help!
I don’t have a tds kit and can’t find a lfs that tests for it, or copper.
My parameters:
10 gallon
Ammonia: .25 (have never gotten it lower in any tank)
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Ph: 8.2
Kh: 10
Temp: 76 F
Lights on for 10 hours a day
Lots of Duckweed
Sponge filter
Water changes like once or twice a month 30% because nothing is happening.
