I was having the same experience, then I moved it to a tank with high light and co2. Problem solved!

Unrelated - what's the nice crinkly green plant next to it? That is absolutely beautiful!

I'm surprised noone has mentioned the fact that you have fish in the tank. It's very, very stressful for shrimp. Also, your shrimplets have little to no chance of survival. It's possible that your...

I find that my shrimp are doing much better now that I am feeding them shrimp-specific food. By which I mean, regular molting, more active, better colour. There is someone on the forum who makes and...
