help with crystral Red Shrimp

[noukhay1]

How do u start a crystal red shrimp set up from a brand new tank?
would u cycle tank first? and how long .

i cycle my tank(30gallon) for 1 month with 9 guppies then did water change 30%. i added 30 cherry red shrimp and it went fine. i bought 2 crystal red shrimp and one die in a 3days.. i don't know why???

i think it is because maybe the 2 crystal reds were stress because everything else is just cherry red shrimp. i have moss and plants as well. my ammonia is 0 and my PH is 7.4 sooo what do u think????? help!!!

Bro you have already told us the problem LOLS. Its your ph. Get it stable at 6.5 and also what's the temperature of your tank? Best to have chiller if you wanna keep CRS.

WHAT ARE WAYS TO LOWER PH?? you mean buying more chemical products and whatelse. And what brands are good?

its not just yr PH. There might be more than just one problem. You might want to tell us your full tank specs so that we can search for your problem.
