First time and my friend just passed me the tank or the other tube need to point into the water? i think u need to add more water until water level same as water outlet this is to avoid waterfall effect and to avoid disturbance to the soil if u have |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Oct 31 2013, 01:14 AM) One lesson I learned is that you need to acclimatize shrimps much longer than for fish because they're more sensitive to water chemistry. I learned the hard way because most of my Malayan shrimps died, highly likely due to this. hurmlesson learn 9 casualty already and left 6 more hope they can survive... |

Did you check if the tank finish cycle? by testing ammonia and nitrite ? Have any new plants in tank less then 2 week ? (the plants may have pesticide/fert residue that contain copper which very fatal to shrimps). ![]() ![]() here some info about the tank hob filter black sand @ gravel cfl light air pump mineral stone in hob filter tank size 45cm X 25 cm X 25 cm flora - Sagittaria subulata , Flame moss, Java moss all already in the tank from it start i didn't check the ammonia and nitrite and the ph around 6.4 the fish inside the tank is new |

QUOTE(arrow @ Dec 20 2013, 01:43 PM) From the picture there is 2 dead fire red. thank Mr Arrow for the adviceThe fish look quite big to be consider safe in a tank with dwarf shrimps especially if got shrimplets later. Big fish will stress out shrimps especially without hiding spot like in your tank. Without kits to check out ammonia and nitrite , it is hard to conclude the tank is indeed cycled or not, un-cycled tank will sure kill shrimps no matter what shrimp you put in. if on budget, try get one tester , the No2 - Nitrite test kit. Since your tank already around 3 week, if the tank not cycled , it will be in stage 2 cycle where nitrite will be detected, if Nitrite is zero, then do a large 80% water change, this will remove excess No3- Nitrate that converted from nitrite by your beneficial bacteria in your filter. After this you only need to do 10-15% water change every week. Get some mineral stone or powder for your tank. actually the fish i put after all the shrimp die maybe i need to test the water parameter after this actually there are mineral stone in the filter next time i will try again |
