    Sorry to hear about it. Shrimps are sensitive to chemicals. Even liquid fertilizer can kill them. There is nothing much you can do other than trying multiple water changes in small quantities to dilute the water column. Good luck

    Did you follow the required dosage instruction on the product? Did you overdose what is required? There is now a new planeria trip in the market that is chemical free.

    Treatment always have chemical.
    Shrimps are sensitive to water conditions.

    If I was you, I'll rather lessen the feeding and bait out the remains. Then using chemical.

    When u say multiple water change, is it using tap water? Tap water n add conditioner or use distilled water? I have the R.O or reverse osmosis (0.001 percent as close to pure H2O) water at home. Can I use it?
