First of hi everyone :icon_bigg. So about 3-4 months ago i had a 5.5gal cherry shrimp tank had about 26+ then at some point they started dying one by one every day to every other day. pH was around 7.4-7.6 ammo,nitrite,nitrate was around 0,0,0-5. Thought it was the last part so did water changes but they still kept dying. At some point i had 5 shrimp and 3-4 shrimp fry left. After a month of no deaths i figure w/e it was resolved itself so decided to get a new batch. Now i have/had around 16-21+ the 3 frys but after about a week i had 2-3 dead again so looks like w/e it is isn't resolve or its back. Im pretty sure this question/topic has been talked over alot but please what em i doing wrong? :help:
current tank is at : 5.5 gal tank , have 1 java moss, 1 java fern with 6 leaves, heater, and hob filter with a sponge tied to the bottom to prevent any shrimp from getting sucked up. also have a box net for fish fry in the mid to reduce the water current of the Hob
ph 7.8
gh 4 drops 3-6 (50-100ppm)
kh 4 drops 3-6 (50-100ppm)
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
ammonia 0-5
temp is around 75-76 degrees, i have a laser thermometer and from the heater side and 1/3 of the tank it says its 76 degrees and 2/3 of the tank is around 75 incase that helps
also every week or every other week i feed em "hikari sinking wafers"
