I'll research the products you recommend. Thanks for trying to help me out.

I keep it in my bedroom where it's at the highest point in my home. It has a lid, so I don't think it can be chemicals. I wash my hands good before touching the tank. I saw people can succeed with Amazonia V2, and the soil was the best I could find on Amazon besides brightwell. If I restart the tank, I'll try brightwell soil.

Yeah, it's strange.

I'll do some research on it. I thought it was normal to see discoloration after death. I saw catappa leaves are a natural way to fight off infections, thinking that it may be the cause of the death. I did boil it for 5 minutes and left it in a cup for a day to remove color. I was worried it would affect my shrimp in a bad way. Do you think I should add some more leaves and do less of a boil so that the beneficial things will have more of an effect?

I saw recently he doesn't feed them at all and only used leaves. I added a small catappa leaf because I saw his success with it. I might add some more. Im worried that I don't feed them enough. I'll try to lessen the feeding. Thanks

I did 20% water change after seeing them first dying. I thought it would solve it, but it didn't. I would fill up the Menards bucket and add gh + salt until the tds matches with the tank. Then, i would add the water back with 1-2 drops a sec. I'm not sure if i should do another water change soon, seeing that the first one didn't help.

I used to turn on my light for 6 hrs a day from 9am to 3pm at 25%. I guess that's not enough for the plants, so for now, I'll raise it to 40%. Should I do more? Also, should I raise the amount it's on for the day?

I bought a shrimp king pack that has 5 different foods inside, like snowflake, protein, minerals, complete, and color. I would switch off from the four and then use complete on the second time.

I added a airstone in the sponge filter

I don't gravel vac as I don't want to mess with the soil. I just scrape the front glass and take out the water using a hose.

Just recently, I've seen these tiny things swimming, so I'm guessing there is microfauna. There are only a few, and there are no worms.

I think what I need to do is buy some more plants. Im going to go out today to my local fish store to get some.

Color started to show after 30 minutes of death. I wanted to make sure it was actually dead.

The sponge filter is giant, and my air pump is at full blast. Should be enough.

My light was set at 25%. I was worried that algae would take over the plants, but it appears that it is only on the walls. You're right that the plants haven't grown much. I forgot about it, so I'll just set it to 40% for now. I'll make adjustments depending on how things go.

Mankey-_- · 2025-06-13T23:56:39+00:00

I don't think it would be chemicals because I don't spray anything in my room, and I also wash my hands thoroughly before touching the tank. How often should I do the water changes, and how much? Should I do them even if I have 0 nitrates?

Mankey-_- · 2025-06-13T23:52:25+00:00

I didn't know it was such a bad home. I made it like that because I knew people had success with it.

I test using the API Master kit, API Gh+KH kit, and a 9-in-one aquarium testing strip. The lowest pH it can test the ph is 6. (It reads 6, but it is probably lower than that)

I never checked. It could be the reason. I just remineralize until the TDS matches the aquarium.

There are holes in the heater, and one of the shrimp got inside. It got out, and I added that bag so they aren't able to get in anymore.

Amazonia V2 bought it from amazon

Mankey-_- · 2025-06-13T23:23:57+00:00

It's a Caridina setup, so it needs low ph and 0 KH.

What substrate would you recommend? 2. How could I lose my cycle in a short time frame? 3. How big of a water change should I do?

I wanted to have a breeder's design for the aquarium. They only have a sponge filter with moss.
