oops sorry...... they are only tiger shrimps and and its a 1.5ft tank with temp at 26 through and 20 in the morning dued to my air con
Mmm ... 6 degrees flunctuation in temperature on a daily basis? That may be problem for some critters.
You still haven't told us when did you setup this tank? Has it been fully cycled?
How did you acclimitize the shrimps?

I also don't understand why, just now was watching my tank, one Yamato swam to the front of the tank, flipped over, curled its legs, turned blue, and died. The other Yamatos are happily swimming around. Sudden death symdrone?
Picked out the dead shrimp and fed it to my cichlids.
Live and let live, stop using life feeds.
it was cycled for more then a week i used dead shrimps to cycle it hahaha left them there till the disappered...when i bought the shrimps i left the bag in the water for abt an hr then i use a syringe to add some water from my tank in to the bag abt a few ml every 5 mins... then abt 1/2 an hr later after doing that i release the shrimps did i do anything wrong i got a 3ft planted and no problem but this stupid 1ft so much casulties
How many shrimps are there? Overcrowded in a 1ft tank?[]
i had 10 shrimps only leh
1. I seriously doubt that you can cycle a tank in 1 week using dead shrimps.
2. Some people encounter no problems adding hardy critters into a new tank (1-2 weeks old) because fast growing plants can help you, to a certain extent, ride out the ammonia spikes. If your shrimp tank has only slow-growing moss and nothing else, test your water for NH3/NH4 and NO2. I have a feeling that you will find the results interesting.
3. A larger tank is more stable than a smaller tank in more ways than one. For example, as you have a smaller volume of water, the rate of temperature change becomes a lot faster and MAY be too much for some critters to handle.
4. Btw, I do not find tiger and bee shrimps hardy.
