help!!! sudden death with PFRS
hi guys... i know there are alot of more experienced people out there who are great at shrimp keeping... and i would like to solicit some advice... recently i have taken an great interest at shrimp keeping... started out with a small colony of Fire reds. was ecstatic that last week several of them have berried. then this past two days... they all have been hiding and not eating at all... which was kinda odd... all seem normal till about 2 days ago when i planted some new plants into the tank. and i guess it created a bit of a stir in the tank. but other than that things like usual.
I do my normal routine.. standard EI dosing, 50% WC at the end of the week. NH4 @ zero,
Nitrates at 15ppm as its planted. and i use prime for my water conditioner. AFter each wC i dose a good 20 ml of stress zyme to replace the beneficial bacteria lost in the WC.
I am saddened to have lost one very red berried shrimp. and now all of them are hiding by the sides of the tank. and have not been eating.
I did a partial WC today to see if it would stir things up a bit or change things but to no avail... I have seen on of the berried shrimps losing her eggs... i dont think they hatched as i have not seen any shrimplets in the tank...
What should i do? i dont want to lose any more... or is there still a way for me to turn things around... I would appreciate all the help...
Thank you in advance
