Parameters seem ok, temp was around 23-24 Celsius... would that small a difference cause all of their deaths?maybe they died and the fish/amanos ate them? tigers are a little more picky about their water than cherries
lol, yeah perhaps... but they were too large to be eaten in the guppy fry tank, which was kept at 24 degrees... can't figure out how they would have been eaten.Sounds like a classic case of who did it lol.
i doubt the amanos would have killed them, just cleaned up after they diededit: they were being kept with the amanos in the store though. Also, they were of the same size as the amanos. Still nothing is impossible I guess...
No, I am not adding equilibrium or anything else for that matter... perhaps I should?I had 6 amano shrimp with CPDs and black darter tetras (all 1.25" fish) and 3 of them disappeared. I removed the other 3 and they are still alive today 4 years later. Even small fish are able to make shrimp disappear to include amanos. I would suspect the fish in 2 of your tanks, but the tank with RCS and BN fry it has got to be something else. Are you adding equilibrium to your tanks? I read somewhere that it can hurt shrimp. I have been using it in the past and lost a shrimp pretty frequently. Since I stopped using it in the shrimp tanks and use Saltyshrimp bee shrimp minerals, there is a lot less dying going on. But this is just a suspicion. Not based on any type of proof. If shrimp die BTW they are often consumed within a short period of time and odds are you never see a body especially with fish and snails in the tank.
I guess I should have done more research. The LFS that sold them gave no warning and in fact said they love warm water and I should keep the tank warm around 26 degrees. Luckily I had read something about amanos and so kept it at 24 degrees celsius. TBH tiger shrimp were the first shrimp I got so far that prefer cooler waterList your tank parameters, all fish eat shrimp but otos so they could have just been real expensive food! Temp is huge with tigers, as they do not like higher temps.
