kcoscia Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Is a TDS jump from 244 to 294 enough to kill a shrimp? I found a shrimp twitching on it's side today and checked the TDS and saw it went up. It may be because I fed them yesterday. I think I do it way wrong, but I usually put a small piece in there and let them eat it till its gone. Is this the killer too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Depends what shrimp, and as for food how big your tank is. The smaller the tank, the easier to is to foul the water. IN general if you aim for between 1-3 hours for food to be gone, you are good. Snowflake is good because you can just leave it in there. For cherries that TDS change wouldn't be a problem. For more sensitive shrimp, I've had breeders tell me that 40TDS change in one day is all they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcoscia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Cherries in a 10g. I only had one go and they're doing okay today. I'll look up the snowflake food. It's just weird that I keep having these random deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I use tenners almost exclusively. I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
