    Hello everyone, my crs are pregnant again. they just gave birth to new shrimps around last week. a day after giving birth, i can still see some baby crs around. saw 3 or 4. but gradually, i don't see any single one of them le. this is already the second batch of babies le. first batch, only one diamond crs survive. I would really like to find out the cause of their disappearance. Their only mates are 3 otos. Sigh.. What water parameters are baby crs most sensitive to? all adult shrimps are surviving and healthy. any kind soul experienced in this, please help me. very heart pain. thanks.

    You've mentioned that it's a 3ft planted tank.

    Did you see the carcasses of the shrimplets? If no, then they could be hiding in the flora.
    God will make a way, where there seems to be no way

    i hoped so too initially. not until the only crs from first batch of babies grew to about 1cm and the rest still not visable. my tank is planted, but still quite open and easy to spot the shrimps.

    i think there's a possibilty i have it in my tank. Are there any solutions to prevent or take them out from the community. they may be the culprit of the deaths.
