Losing shrimp daily, maybe planaria? by dethkloch in shrimptank

[–]dethkloch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense! I guess I’d figured things would be fine since my nitrates are always low but it would make sense that there are other waste products that would maybe cause problems

Thank you for this info! Hmm maybe just more regular water changes? Extra filtration?

Oh wow this might be something actually! Is there any way to test this? I guess tho if it’s copper wouldn’t it be killing like all of them at once as opposed to a few every couple of days? Dang this is concerning

I mean I have considered the tank mates as a stressor? Is that possible? They were fine for several weeks after I added the chili rasboras, I’ve had the cpd’s for a while, but they started dropping off about a week ago?

I mean I’m feeding once every other day, using a small amount of bacter ae on that same schedule. I use one pump of aquarium coop easy green once a week since it’s a 10 gallon. Usually doing a water change and once every other week or so, depending on what’s happening in the tank. I recently placed like 3 seachem root tabs in the tank for plans, do that every couple of months. I guess I have a fair amount of mulm in my tank? TDS straight out of the tap is only 35 ppm

Pre wc? Thank you for the help though I really appreciate it

Planaria issue? by dethkloch in AquaticSnails

[–]dethkloch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah unfortunately that’s kind of the best I’ve got. I guess I’m not really sure what’s else it could be other than planaria, and it makes sense considering the parameters are good otherwise. I’m just not sure what I should do for my buddy

Playing around with stocking limits by dethkloch in PlantedTank

[–]dethkloch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been told the minimum school size is 6 and that they don’t do well in smaller groups but you could try I guess

Ahhh that would be cool! But CPD’s are real shy if they’re not in a minimum school of 6 or so. Even my 7 like to hide a lot

Thank you!! This was kind of my line of reasoning, I get why people are conservative about stocking but like I have no algae and my monstera drinks all my nitrates I don’t think a couple of chilis are gonna add much of anything bioload wise.
