    Hi guys, just came back and again I found some dead shrimps, is there a cause to worry as this is the 3rd or 4th time I came back from work and I found a few dead shrimps, no. of dead shrimps found each time is 2-4 of diff sp... yesterday added 20 Malayan shrimps(lotsa of them r preg somemore!!) and 11 tiger shrimps... the following is some specs of my tank...

    2ft Tank: cycled for abt 7-9 days before adding livestock
    CO2: DIY C02 24hrs (bubble rate dunno coz DIY, unless someone can teach me how to count or can I use a diffuser or bubble counter?)
    Light: 1x55w T4 PL, on for 10-11hrs
    Plants: Java Moss, Taiwan moss, monosolenium tenerum, Red Tiger Lotus, C.wendtii brown, cirinum calamistratum, glosso, hairgrass, viallis, duckweeds and tiny water lettuce
    Fert: Super Roots Monster and LushGro aquatic (once during cycling)
    Live stock: 8 Pygmy Cories 1-1.5cm (C.habrosus), 3 Panda Cory 1.5cm, 4 Clown Loach 1-1.5cm, 3 1.5cm Oto, 20-30 Cherry shrimps, 20 Malayan shrimps, 20+ Tiger shrimps, 10 Mosquito shrimps (Shrimps population as when I bought them)
    O2: Only at nite
    Temp: 21-25.5 deg cel with DIY fan on 24hrs
    Death rate: 2-4 each day
    Current death report: 4 Mosquito Shrimps, 6 Tiger shrimps, 3 Malayan shrimps

    Is my tank overstock? I've been wanting to ask but sometimes I forgot to take out my O2 in the daytime when I go to work, so its in there 2gether with the DIY CO2, does that mean the CO2 have been dissipitate (meaning no effect?) Pls advice bros
