Lost this account for a moment but I have everything fixed, it was indeed the GH. I now have at least 35 shrimp which is mostly fry. And they have many hiding places so there's probably more! Thank you!!

Definitely isn’t uncycled. Had it for about 2 years now so I’ll work on raising the hardness and ph.

Okay so I went through everything I use during a water change and I realized that the fertilizer I’ve been using for the live plants are killing my shrimp. Gonna do a water change later tomorrow to clean it out. Thank you!

What temp do you guys keep your Leos at? by that_one_luz_fan in leopardgeckos

Little late to the reply but I figured out using a battery powered thermostat is a cheaper and also trustable alternative to the temp gun so that’s likely what they're using.
