miwu Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 What kind of shrimp are we talking about? When did you get them? And two out of how many are dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 red rili and fire red 2 dead out of 24 tank 7.5g red rili and fire red i got them 10 days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Could be from shipping....stressed out shrimps can die up to a week after arrival. Ive had them start dying within a couple of days. The stronger ones will survive. Also adult shrimps don't ship well, this is why most suppliers ship only young shrimps.

robt666 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 aw. how long can you say they survive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty703 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 once they've acclimated to your water parameters and are eating good they can survive for a long time. Shipping is just very stressful on the shrimps, so that's why most suppliers add a couple extra in just in case of doa's. miwu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 one of my rili's has eggs is this a good sign or she may drop it because i got them 2 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasshalffull Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 It's definitely good but if it's her first time she may drop them but breeding and molting are definitely good signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 if the new 2 shrimps are mating then the rest is fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedaquarium Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 the GH seems a bit high... why not try bringing it down to gh 6 or 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 rodi water can bring it down right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwu Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Yes, but if the shrimps are doing fine, there isn't a reason to change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 all in all 6 dead 4 rili and 2 fire red i think throughout those deaths i saw 11 shrimplets..... if there is a problem in my water or something else should the shrimplet died first before the big ones probably there are more shrimplets its hard to keep track but at least i have 11 should i keep it as it is or do something? my water parameters seems fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robt666 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 also my yellow give birth i dont how many but at least 5+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Shrimplets seem to adapt more than adult shrimp if the parameters are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Probably just shipping stress, always plan to lose a few in the first few weeks, frustrsting i know but in time youll have a colony and wont care anymore lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
