nicpapa Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi there... I keep crs shrimp in two 30 liters tanks... And i found 1-2 dead srhimps every day... I loose a lot of shrimps before 1-1.5years, from dog spot for fleas. In the past in the 30 liter tank there where a lot of population 300-400shrimps. Its months now and i found every day 1-2 shrimps dead, Wate parameters is fine, Use salty shrimp for minerals . Akadama substrate Low nitrate , 5-10 Temp in summer is 26c, in winter 22.( those death happens and in winter) Kh 0 Gh 5-6 Ph 6.2-6.4 tds 128-130 I found not only adult shrimps but new ... also pregnant shrimps. I think its bacteria infection, but in those tank i keep neos orange and yellows and with those i dont have any problem, only with crs. I have a lot of pregrant shrimp, but very low babies.. I try big water changes, try beta g, H2O2 , substrate clean. Now i add leafs and alder cones. Shrimp that going to die , its not moving, and if you try to move they cant swimm... or it goes and bed on substrate and try to swim. Also saw a crs adult with only one eye, thats why i beliece for vacteria. I cant see any parasites or anything else on shrimps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Are the orange and yellow neos with the CRS? It seems like maybe you have a buffering issue with your substrate and actually have a higher pH than you think. Active substrates typically only last a year or two. Are you using strip, drop, or meters to test pH? Do you have another way to test your pH? Uriel RT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ph meter, probe is over a year ,and not measure correct, it read lower tham api... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicpapa Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Still found almost every day on dead shimp. Any ideas... ? I think its bacteria problem, a snowwhite crs i saw brown in head after death. I have babies in diferent ages, but almost every day i found one dead, it not always an adult.
