Is the weather too hot?

I just completed planted tank, with Co2. I added 5 SAE and 5 yamato shrimps. All the shrimps died within few hours. BUt the plants and SAE are fine. Is it could be the water temperature is high?

Is your tank cycled? I doubt that the heat killed the fish/shrimp. Please check the water conditions. Prolly the it's NO/NO2 killed them.

it could oso be that u didnt climatize them well enuff...

[YES]

did u just pour in the bag of shrimps when u released it to ur tank?.. also check ur CO2 level.. too much will cause the shrimps died of CO2 poisoning..

[WILLIAM]

ok will check.Maybe it could be due to HIGH CO2 content. I had the shrimps in my other tank before I moved them, which had no co2 at all.

I think fishes like Otos r more sensitive to C02 poisoning.. usually they r the first ones to go in my tank the last time I had too much c02.. look at yr fishes, they will have telltale sign like (grasping for air near or at the surface)
