Demise of Newly-Introduced Sakuras
Let me first start by stating that I've read the sticky threads on how to introduce new shrimps into a mature tank. I am hoping that Bros here could enlighten me further the cause(s) of my problem.
I am not new to having cherry, Malayan and Yamato shrimp-keeping. However, I am puzzled why I fail in several attempts to keep my Sakura shrimps going. They just could not survive for >24 hours!
The specifications of my tank are as follows, perhaps this could shed more light on my problem:
Tank details: 1.5 feet acrylic, 24W PL light, sponge filter, Sudo sand with nana-tied driftwoods, clutch of java moss and 2 ketapong leaves; Temperature: 27 degree celcius; PH: unknown.
My method of introducing new shrimps: place bag floating for at least an hour, followed by 2-3 plastic spoonful of tank water every hour, till water in the bag is almost full (which will tilt and submerge, and I just wait till all shrimps have gotten out of bag).
Mine is a mature tank (>3 months, previously kept C Pygmaeus).
Looking forward to Bros' advice here. Thanks in advance.
Rob
