Hey tpt shrimp sector!
So I have a tank that has become a money sink and is curse for shrimp. I have no clue what the issue is with it but shrimp of all types from amano to cherry to blue phantoms all last maybe a day before dying in it. I see all of these people who can keep rcs alive and breeding in damn cups on a windowsill but this tank cannot even keep a ghost shrimp alive. Fish and snails, no problem.
4 gallon
Ada aquasoil
Finnex planted+
Finnex px90 filter with purigen
I am drip acclimating all shrimp in
water temp stays around 72 but heats up from light and cools down at night
6.8-7 ph
0ppm ammonia, nitrates,and nitrites.
Paintball co2 at 1 bps(even without shrimp die)
Excell has been used in the tank, same with EI ferts.
All I want in that tank to have more than cpds and otos!
Any advice would be great to trouble shoot this tank.
