[quote:d084cb12da="Freddy"]Can anyone advise me on the reason for my dying yamatoes..
Water parameters
pH : 6.8
kH : 3
Thank you in advance![/quote:d084cb12da]
Did you have them for a long while?
Or did they died soon after introducing to the tank? If so, you ought to acclimitise them properly at introduction. See this post http://www.aquaticquotient.com/phpbb...pic.php?t=7971

Thank you for the prompt respond. My tank is 3ft x 2ft x 2ft. Just setup for abt 18 days only. Only tested the pH and kH. Introduce 2 fishes to test the water condition, surviving well; but when introducing the yamatoes into the water using the method suggested by Simon they did not manage to survive too. Really puzzled... Please enlighten me. Thank you.
How many shrimps did you add? Using any medication in your tank at the moment? When was the last water change before adding the shrimps? Do you use anti-chlorine?
Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
You might want to test for NH3/NH4, NO2 and NO3. The yamatoes are very susceptible to high concentrations of these. For 18 days, your tank is still in its cycling period.
When did you introduce the fishes? Is your tank heavily planted? You might want to read up on the tank cycling process which could take up to a month - provided there are some bio-load inside there.
