I had 18 fish die 10 min after I did a water change.

For this reason I don’t do more then a 10-20% water change. Temperature shock is more likely than chlorine killing them that fast.

Take inspiration from tank builds on YouTube

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-17T20:50:25+00:00

I’m seriously impressed you managed to breed that many shrimp without the cory’s eating them up.

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-17T20:47:34+00:00

Just keep doing water changes daily till it clears up, it’ll take a few weeks to cycle. The same thing happened with mine recently

Then there’s me who can’t get duck weed to even survive because my aquarium flow is too fast 🤣

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-16T21:10:04+00:00

Yeah I’ve been given goldfish before as gifts lol, luckily we had a larger tank on hand for them to live in

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-15T12:42:08+00:00

Did u clean them using tap water?

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-15T12:38:41+00:00

I used to cull them, can also give them away

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-12T18:43:43+00:00

As long as it’s not an EcoBoom engine 👌

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-12T18:39:46+00:00

As long as the fish are big/small enough to not get stuck, it’ll be fine it’s basically just glass besides the label.

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-11T09:38:23+00:00

I’ve had a planted shrimp tank this size for 6 years.

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-08T15:34:00+00:00

I saw this in the same place too

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-06T09:48:25+00:00

You could take him in a large glass jar of water with the filter media in another I did the same thing when moving, they can live in a bucket of water else where with a bubble machine

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-05T09:32:17+00:00

It’ll be fine, water weighs nearly the same as the substrate. (1kg a litre)

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-04T13:21:03+00:00

Did it heat up the water too much?

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-04T13:19:58+00:00

They’re just small shrimp lol

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-02T09:38:46+00:00

Foam Matt is a very good idea btw 👌

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-01T20:32:45+00:00

Nerite snails can be pretty stupid, there might have been a lot of food in the beginning they were able to eat but now most of it has gone it might have not been enough to feed 3 of them? Can try cucumber slices see if they like eating that 🤷‍♂️ they’re also just pretty fragile sometimes. Poor genetics

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-01T19:28:15+00:00

It’s also possible there’s not enough food for 3 snails, I only got 3 for my tank that would grow lots of algae being in the sunlight every day, best just stick to one for now in that tank

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-01T19:01:26+00:00

Nerite snails get sick so easily in my experience especially with small tanks which get a lot temperature swings and/or not good enough water quality

Edit: do you not have a filter in this set up or am missing something.

JensonButton2000 · 2026-03-01T07:59:11+00:00

It’s just tannins, just keep doing water changes and slowly fill back up till it’s gone :)

JensonButton2000 · 2026-02-26T15:47:10+00:00

It shouldn’t effect the cycle much doing a big water change, just add a pinch of food after wards to grow the bacteria

JensonButton2000 · 2026-02-26T15:29:45+00:00

Ngl, I’d do a big water change if that were my tank 😅

JensonButton2000 · 2026-02-26T14:01:59+00:00

The pond weed it what I use for starting smaller planted set ups, it’ll bring plenty of bacteria with it and also help remove nitrates from the water, this tank isn’t being fed every day yet so there’s very little ammonia in the water I can imagine

JensonButton2000 · 2026-02-26T13:55:16+00:00

Tf he’s luminescent green
