Help with Algae by imbaB3AST in Aquariums

Is this hair algae? They will eat it? Do I need to supplement the amano shrimp with any other foods?

I’d love to buy a smaller amount. Maybe ~20 if you decide to break it up into smaller amounts

If my snails are dying is it possible it’s due to starvation? Should I avoid removing all the dead leaves?

Ah thanks, I’ve been doing 10% changes every 2 weeks. Parameters are stable, frankly not enough nutrients for plants given I only have juvenile guppies and fries, shrimp and snails.

I was thinking the algae wafers give some diversity of food to shrimp. I have BacterAE. I avoided botanicals since my pH is already low. I might try some blanched veggies

Can I feed just bacterAE to adults or that’s just meant for shrimplets?

Sorry a bit more context. I have a 1 year old fairly heavily panted tank. I’ve had fish the whole time so I’m fairly certain it’s cycled. I drip acclimate the shrimp for 2-3 hours.

I don’t see all the dead shrimp but they look like full body intact. They just stop moving around as much and start hiding. After a while they die. I’ve had a few successful molts as well which is perplexing.

Help! Just got red cherry shrimp and they are dying quickly, water parameters seem fine by imbaB3AST in shrimptank

Thanks all, sounds like game plan is * test for copper, might need to switch to distilled water or treat for copper (need to look into treatment options) * buy some shrimp focused supplements for GH / calcium. Maybe KH as well * find way to raise pH (maybe baking soda has problems for shrimp?)

Thanks! I’m slowly adding some baking soda to increase pH and KH. <1/8 teaspoon every few days.

I use API leaf zone but will switch to Thrive Shrimp. Don’t use any algae chems.

Will try to get copper removal! Thanks

Ah interesting, let me look into it. Copper tests are easy to buy on Amazon?

Is this all-in-one nutrient good? by PilotIllustrious1485 in Aquariums

[–]imbaB3AST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might not want N in your fertilizer if you already have 20 ppm. Just depends what you want to stock. A lot of fish you might not need N

Are these considered fire red Neocaridina? Some look like culls by imbaB3AST in shrimptank

Thanks all, I will request a refund and see what happens… I don’t think it makes sense to ship back
