    Hi Guys,
    Got caught up with shrimp fever but I have a problem. My Amano shrimps are dying. The symtoms are the shrimp will go like swimming then free falling to the bottom motionless. They get up then die the next day. Are they allergic or sensitive to any thing, or they are blackish water shrimp?
    I'm using Dennerle's fertiliser E15 ,V30 & A1. No other medications, the fishes are doing fine. Just wondering if u guys experience any same symtoms before with them?

    Hi Simon,
    PH is 7.5, don't know about nitrate though( no kit, )But I just change the subtrate of this tank about 3 weeks ago. There is some rotting vegetation from my Rotala macranda and I think Red Nesaea(N 10). I use back half of my 'old' water then and there is a algae bloom going on now.
    The former subtrate were crush coral chips. Also don't understand why the N10 rotted.
