So, I've had to buy numerous groups of shrimps over the past few months because every single time there is a berried female, and she is about to 'hatch' the eggs, I find her dead in the tank. It never fails. I don't understand. The tank is perfectly healthy and none of them die unless they're about to drop. Also, it's heavily planted and has one of those shrimp tubes (recently added).
Tank stock:
12 cherry shrimp (now 10)
4 Otos (fed zuchinni and vege wafers)
2 Assassin Snails (getting rid of my snail infestation)
8 Pygmy Rasboras
I do have an issue with blackbeard algae. I bought two siamese algae eaters but they jumped out and died.
Every week I dose 1mm of Flourish Excel
I change water 30-40% every week and a half
Tank is a Mr. Aqua 12 Gallon Long
