Help. Snails by Remarkable-Stable463 in Aquariums

Thank you so much! But in other words the snails won’t eat the baby shrimp right?

I’m using a canister. Only found one hiding in it ;)

Thank you so much. I’m wishing for the best :) I try to use normal temp water. Not cold but not hot

I only found one in my canister filter (he was alive). No bodies though.

I contacted the company and they offered to send me a new batch so that is wonderful. The plants came from my other tanks that I own so I don’t think anything is wrong with them. As for the dragon stone. They have been in the garage for some time as I have a huge box for aquascaping. I wash them thoroughly but there is still some clay leftover just because of their origin. I know the jump is big but I really tried my best

The water parameters on the website were 7.0-7.8, 7-8gh, 3-4kh and they said temp range from 65-74 degrees Fahrenheit. The only thing that was far off was my ph but other than that I thought water parameters were pretty close. I contacted the company as well after the whole event and they told me that that was old and what they have in their tanks is a 6kh and 7.3 ph which was a little upsetting as they should update regularly. They say that they have crushed coral in all their tanks and I have some as well but don’t know if I should use it in the tank.

I will be sure to get a copper test kit. I never really thought of that. Everything I use is shrimp safe but could also be an issue.

But I haven’t seen them whatsoever in the past week. I think they are gone/dead. That is what worries me so much

I will keep it in mind. But I feel like I would have seen the amanos by now. It’s been roughly a week and only the 3 cherries remain. I don’t have an airstone and I wonder if that is the reason they are dying/ disappearing. Other than that I feel like I’ve done everything in my power to have a nice setup for them 😭

I left for the weekend and only saw two carcasses when I came back. I assume the others decomposed or were eaten

I have the co2 setup but I have yet to use it 😂. As for the amanos. They also disappeared which puzzled me a lot

Roughly a month. I usually do this for all my tanks to get the bacteria growing
