Ive had my shrimps stop breeding for 3-5 weeks after my move from college, also it stressed my shrimp out enough that 3/4 of my OEBT's died from bacterial infection. This also got my neo's as well as half my snowballs passed cause of it. Moving certainly stresses shrimp out :\
Will a move affect shrimp this much? also how to get them to breed again
So i moved about a year and a half ago, then 7 months later moved back because of sickness and some personal stuff, But before i moved my crs, yellows, and rili's were breeding, (OEBT were to young at that point), then when i moved all of them stopped breeding for the first 4 months, when only my OEBT were breeding, but no one else would, then i moved back and every stopped breeding until about a month ago, when i finally got 2 berried crs and are still berrried, but the clock is ticking for them to pop, but still no one else would until last monday when i noticed 1 berried rili. I've tried multiple things to get them to breed and i've seen multiple saddled rilis and red female OEBT, and a few saddled yellow, but i don't know what to do to get them to breed even when i see moltings. Don't know if this helps but my moss quit growing in my yellow tank. Any help would be great.
Both tanks 2 sponges filters and a backpack filter filled with crushed coral, bio chem-zorb and purigen. Substrate is fss in both tanks, and i use RO mixed with mosura mineral plus and TDS up. weekly 15% water changes and dose shield and bebi.
Tank Parameters:
yellow tank
tds 226
ph 7.4
gh 8
kh 2
OEBT/Rili tank
tds 224
ph 7.4
gh 7

common stress ~.~ death of a closed ones, broke up on relationship, moving <== also stress us out, shrimps too! even though we move them~
Seems like you answered your forum question within the first post.
7.4 is considered pretty high ph for crystals.
Please include the ammonia, nitrate tests as well as they were omitted but surely would attribute to the problem.
Why would you use fss to buffer the ph down only to use crushed coral to raise the ph?
Maybe the thread would be more appropriately titled, how can I get my shrimp to breed again.

I did lose a few because I knew it stressed them but I didn't expect after almost a year and they still haven't rebounded. I'm almost to the point of tearing down the yellow tank and restarting it over with new substrate unless you guys have a better suggestion.
From my experience, moving adult shrimps really messes up their breeding. Juvii seems fine as long as they haven't reached breeding age when moved. It can take weeks or even months before moved adults start breeding again. However, I also find that a bigger colony doesn't get affected as much but still does to certain degree. This is considering no undesirable parameter changes.
Crystal tank parameters aren't listed because they are breeding, they have completely different parameters, I'm keeping Taiwan bees in the same tank and their doing fine plus they are moving to their new tank in a month.Seems like you answered your forum question within the first post.

I tested for ammonia it was zero but honestly don't have a nitrate test anymore, never was a problem but I guess I could buy one.
I never found fss to have much of a buffering capability plus its getting closer to 2 years so its not doing anything to the water.
Either or would have works but I want to know to know why the move has affected them so long and why aren't try breeding.
What's your feeding regimen? I've found a direct relationship between amount of food available and breeding.
Something is wrong in your tank if your moss dies. What has changed in that tank?

A small amount 6 days awake. They always make a shrimp ball.What's your feeding regimen? I've found a direct relationship between amount of food available and breeding.

Honestly don't know what has changed to make the moss die in the yellow tank.
