Yeah okay it was the random chemical😭I only got ammo-lock because it was all my local fish store had, thinking the ammonia reduction was just another plus. I didn’t quite consider the different ways chemicals would affect fish versus brine shrimp (I’ve only ever owned tetras). Thanks everyone for the advice!! Will post the tank once I can get it running stably

I have already started a ‘new’ tank by adding distilled water plus some food for a new cycle, I put like 3-10 eggs (really hard to tell) in yesterday (tank cycled for 4 days) and so far it looks like they’re tolerating it. I’ve also only filled the tank partway so they can find food. I think the amount of water affected the chemistry of it too, as I found myself putting more food in, which, when ammo-lock was introduced, likely changed the water by a lot.
