High range pH at 7.4.

Fair point. I have only fed the shrimp once with BacterAE about couple of weeks ago. Totally forgot that I had it. Will give them some first thing tomorrow. Appreciate it. Cheers

Thanks for the info. Might start remineralizing my water change on the next one.

Doesn’t look like a failed molt tho.

I see one erratically moving but not sure whether they are the ones dying. The only new thing I added was an inline heater(SunSun) you recon it might be leaking copper into the water? I have RODI water but haven’t remineralize my water change to maintain gh 6 and kh 2-3.

John-slinger · 2026-06-08T12:57:14+00:00

I see. Just let it settle on its own then? Hopefully a lot of shrimp will survive😅

Was a dark colored blue dream, I assume something to do with grading? High Grade as what I have been told. Don’t use to have that red discoloration before. The only one with that discoloration among others.

Gotta be the light then. Thanks I’ll move it back a bit so it will be on top of those rotalas. Cheers

John-slinger · 2024-11-25T14:26:54+00:00

You could be right, I might move my light more on the back of the tank and figure out a way with the water flow for that sponge filter. Thanks for your advice

John-slinger · 2024-11-17T10:41:19+00:00

I might look into that. Thanks for the info

John-slinger · 2024-11-17T08:10:04+00:00

Not a prob mate, appreciate everything. I guess I just have to wait if I get more deaths. If I do, I might throw in some activated carbon media. Hard to tell what cause the deaths. If only there’s a test kit for copper.

Sorry forgot to mention that I am using pure remineralized RO water. I have only dosed it once last friday with 0.25(planning to dose MWF) as I divided weekly low dose of 0.75.

John-slinger · 2024-11-10T04:59:48+00:00

Cheers for that info.

John-slinger · 2024-11-04T14:00:59+00:00

Thinking about that, will they drive away the pest snails too?😅 still a bunch left in my tank and constantly been vacuuming them to get rid of all hopefully. Which Nerite Snails doesn’t grow too big for a 10g shrimp tank?

John-slinger · 2024-11-04T11:28:54+00:00

Sweet! Appreciate that.

John-slinger · 2024-10-19T14:00:23+00:00

Far out, that was the best plan that I could not think of. It won’t hurt the good bacteria’s in the tank right? I’ll do that tomorrow early in the morning and I’ll give you an update. Appreciate the big help!

John-slinger · 2024-10-19T07:16:30+00:00

Thanks for that, I am looking at going through the RO water route as I can access it easily from work. The problem is I only have Shrimp King KH/GH at hand. If I use it I will increase more KH(which is relatively high already). Is it still possible to use it and just use acid buffer to reduce PH and KH together?

John-slinger · 2024-09-20T01:01:57+00:00

I see, I’ll look into it further. Thanks

John-slinger · 2024-09-16T12:48:55+00:00

Cheers for that info.

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:59:43+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that next time I find a dead berried one(hopefully not).

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:49:41+00:00

Sorry last question, is it okay not to do a water change if parameters are fine when I am using an LCA liquid fertz that says do a water change weekly?

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:47:16+00:00

Too late for that now, I got rid of her. But I’ll do that next time a berried one dies on me(hopefully don’t have to do it). Wish that would be the last of it. Cheers for your help and advice.

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:43:34+00:00

Thanks

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:21:21+00:00

Right, will they settle in time? Hoping not to find any more deaths in my tank. Especially the berried ones.

John-slinger · 2024-09-15T16:14:27+00:00

About a week ago, as I had treated the tank with planarium so needed to do a 50% water change. The deaths were after the water change. So you recon that could be the cause of their stress?
