i think if your tank is sustaining well..
dont add anything that you are unsure of...

cause at the end of the day, its what you added that kills them!!

One of my sakura shrimps has given birth to numerous shrimplets. At a loss of what to feed them.

The sea salt seems ok. But I am wondering how to do water change with the shrimplets inside.

you could try green water.

Green water? You mean green algae?

Don't worry, shrimplets will feed on micro organisms. Add a bit of moss, not only provide them a good source for micro organisms, also a good hiding place for shrimplets. If you have a bit of money, can try Mosura Bioplus.

So you have indeed added sea salt?? ok?

I see my little shrimplets feeding on crushed food too. I normally crush before throwing in the shrimp food.

For water change, you can refer here:

that is a good idea [crushed food].
i have put some moss. let them clean it up first before putting some crushed food. got problem locating them though after putting the moss.

first saw them this morning, thought were mosquito larve at first

sign, nice photos you have there at your gallery.
