    Perhaps if you share more information, we can give you a more educated guess.

    For now, it's probably lack of oxygen or excessive CO2.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    It happened to me before when my Co2 leaked and flooded the tank.

    Did a water change to my tank and my shrimps are back to normal again. Will do a siphon filter to my tank bottom today and do abit more water change.

    Are you using CO2 for your tank? If you are then reduce it as it might be excessive CO2 which is affecting your shrimp...

    Either NH4 / Very high CO2 or low O2 (low plant production and no or too little surface movement).

    Hi,

    I believe mostly likely lack of Oxygen, just use an air pump and should solve the problem.
