Reply With QuoteWater parameters?
One of my CRS is lying on it's side since a 2 days ago. I've lsolated it but it just seem stoned there. I've also notice some of the CRS are not feeding, just standing there like sleeping/resting. What could be wrong?
Water parameters?
gH, kH both 1 degree
Ammonia and Nitrite both 0 ppm
PH about 7.5.
your ph level is abit on the high side, try lowering it to 6.5 +/-

Hmmmm. How do I lower the PH? increase CO2?
is your tank having co2 injection? if yes, maybe try stopping it and see if there's improvement?
Nope. My tank no CO2 inject. The CRS like stone stone one. Now I've another one like that too. But this one still can stand. Not as active as it should be. Anyone else encounter this before?

Hi,
may i know what filtration you are using for the tank. If its cannister, how long have you not wash your cannister.?
Have you perform water change lately?

can you post a picture of your tank? type of filtration? Tank temperature? did you add in anything (stones, plants etc) before your shrimps starts to be like that?? of that your shrimps were new additions to the tank?Originally Posted by Kira76
Actually, I've just setup the tank for less then 2 weeks. Brought these CRS home from my office. The cannister was setup then. Lower my temp from 25 to 24 degree. Seems like one of them survive while the other die this morning. Lucky for me, the one that survived was a female with eggs. The rest of the CRS seems to be doing well. I'm not sure if temp is the cause or could it be due to shock when introducing them to the new tank. Used drop method when conditioning them to the tank water.

most likely your tank was not cycled enough. 2 weeks may not be enough to establish a stable tank and your ph is on the high side. All you can do now is to wait and see. good luck.
2 weeks is very dangerous. best if you can cycle for a month before introducing shrimps.
Shrmips are very, very sensitive.
