I'm about to put this hobby down for a while. Mine have been slowly dying off and I'm doing everything I can. It's been stressful more than enjoyable. The science behind it can get overwhelming and it's hard to find a proper guide. I just had to take out my biggest shrimp that has been laying eggs. I'm literally heartbroken.
Today at noon my neocaridina shrimps were gathering on sponge filter and media bag of aquarium started dying, shrimps legs and moth become white, water parameter and temperature was ideal. I have no clue. Please suggest what to do.
Mine died since i moved them to a new tank since i had them in a 6 gallon they had ALOT of kids since i bought pregnant females and i got a 20 gallon when i moved them i didn’t acclimate them since the temperature were almost the same i know better but its was still sad 😢
Sometimes there's not much you can do. I experienced the white ring with one of my Vampire Shrimp and that was sad. Acclimating is also very important as I've lost shrimp in the past when I first began due to improper acclimation. Now, I just drip acclimate them for at least 3 hours before adding them to my tanks.
pet hair from flea treated pets can cause mass death ... genetics can play a roll as well as far as survival rate do you have Caridinia tanks ? crystal's, Taiwan bee's ect ?
Good to know. It's always good to wash your hands/arms before handling your shrimp tank as you could introduce unknown chemicals into the water. As for Caridinia shrimp, I am planning to get into it as that is a whole other side of shrimp keeping I wish to explore.
@@philkolang so if you pause it. you can see little white "hairs" on his head above his eyes. those are a type of flatworm called scutariella japonica.

Did you make any large water changes? What's in the media bag? How long have the shrimp been in your tank for?
Nice video keep it up
Thank you. I've got a new video coming soon.
@2:16 looks like SJ parasite. Just a heads up.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out.
Can I add salts to my shrimps tank ?
You can but is it for a specific reason? I've used aquarium salt in the past to treat Scutariella Japonica and sometimes issues with my fish.
The amano shrimp enjoying the fame😂
All of them are getting their 15 minutes of fame 😂

Is your tank new and fully cycled? Have you done a water test to check for Ammonia and Nitrite?
@@shrimplycanadian 0 ammonia 0 nitrite less than 20 nitrate gh 7-8 kh 7
@@shrimplycanadianI used tims ammonium chloride 2HR aquarist fertilizer, gh+ API dechlorination and metal detoxification for cloromorines and copper
@@shrimplycanadianfully cycled, lots of algae and biofilm
@@shrimplycanadianI also have lots of microorganisms such as rhabdocoela
