Well, short answer, because my Caridinas died... #aquariumfish #fishtank #shrimp
I even got another batch of Bee Shrimps and they all instantly died, I don't know what's wrong and where to even begin diagnosing. The Neos lived, so this is gonna be their home now, they look healthy and lively.

your first problem is your are using buffering substrate with neo caridinas, buffering substrate lowers ph, your need ph to be above 7. The buffering substrate wont kill them but they wont thrive. Caridina need the buffering substrate. Next time you have planaria or hydra problems, use a product called no planaria or planaria 0, they are shrimp safe and you can keep snails after you do a big water change. I think you overdosed on your medication you used. You also have planaria in your tank, i say it at 3:50. Good luck

Good catch! I didn't see the planaria, it should've been dead by now. I just want to test if the tank really have major problems and getting another batch of caridina shrimps is just too expensive. Needless to say i was very stressed and agitated. This tank will be my Caridina tank so maybe I'll setup another tank for the neos. I'll try no planaria next time, thanks!!

Nice video, shrimp always die and over the years you will learn on your mistakes how to make them die less. Just don’t give up and carry on keeping them. You’ll get better. It was good start with babies and berried shrimp. Just be careful next time with putting any new plants or anything to your tank. This is how you get your hydra and fresh water limpets. Keep it simple and don’t do much changes to your tanks. Just watch it, feed your shrimp and do regular water changes. Thats it

I had a breakout of planaria. I put a dozen ghost shrimp in the tank and I haven’t seen them since.

Interesting! Do they chase the other smaller shrimps?

@nashadzulaikha8636 Месяц назад

did the medicine contain copper? you might wanna look into that bcs I read that many snails pesticides contains copper and the copper stays in the silicon (which means u can no longer use the tank for shrimps) and copper is deadly to shrimps

@mapleandcherry Месяц назад

I don't think so, no. It's not in the video but I also have a copper test kit and it doesn't show that there's any copper in the water. For more context, the medicine was Fenbendazole which commercially sold as pet dewormer, like for dogs and cats. I've treated fishes with it before but not shrimps. I've read online quite a lot that it's safe for shrimps, but as others pointed out there's safer alternative, I might look into that next time.

Hi so...opaque shrimp don't mean they are sick and or dying, they could just be a high grade of shrimp...

@mapleandcherry 2 месяца назад

Hi... Shrimps with opaque shell (for example very solid white color) is pretty and would be high grade shrimp, but whatever their outside color is, their inside usually are transparent. Usually whenever I encounter shrimps with opaque insides, they die not long after, and when they do die their body is completely opaque like how a cooked shrimp look like... 🍤🍣 Or at least that's what I understood haha

This was just depressing to watch, next time set up a bucket tank and move all of your shrimp to that as a temporary holding tank before using any type of pesticide in your tank, secondly there’s a shrimp safe planaria killer you can buy that even has a picture of a crystal shrimp on the front. :(

Jeez, it sound like you didn't do your research before buying your shrimps. keeping shrmip is so easy, just follow the water paremeters and your good to go.

@mapleandcherry 2 месяца назад

All parameters were in check, GH KH pH ammonia everything, I matched the seller's parameters before actually bought them. Or maybe there's a difference after all I don't know anymore.
