Aquarium Advice Regular
I haven't been on in quite a while, but want to get insight on a problem I had a little while ago.
I decided to be bold and try a RCS tank. Everything was going well for a while until suddenly I couldn't find the baby shrimp anymore and the adults started dying off. I realized that dead RCS are much more pink than living ones....a sad finding
The only thing I could think of was that maybe when I did a PWC (tap Tampa water with de-chlorinator additive)....maybe some copper from the pipes of my old building contaminated the tank and killed off my shrimp slowly?
Does this sound possible??
Also, I have seen a couple people mention keeping shrimp with Betas. Would RCS thrive well with Beta, or would they become dinner??
As always....thanks for your opinions and advice
