Aquarium Advice Addict
Okay, so I absolutly love the thought of having a ton of shrimp in my tank. A week or to ago I bought 20 RCS from a member here, they were beautiful, bright red, and obviously healthy, I'm positive it wasn't the shrimp that were bad(when I got them).
After a few days I found some dead, not thinking too too much about it, well, I have like 4 left now.. when I received them I was just finishing a fish in cycle, so I didn't have crazy paramaters, pretty good ones actually. The only thing I can chalk it up to is the fact I dosed(only once) with kordon ich rid, after coming to the conclusion that it was the best chemical treatment. After doing the one dose I read the warnings, I saw it shouldn't be used with inverts, after dying a little inside, I immediatly stopped etc..
My question is: do you think that's why my shrimp died? I'm hopeing these last few make it..
Also, anything and everything you can tell me about shrimp would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
