What is the adequate amout of water to top up when you have shrimplets in your tank?

I have about 30 shrimplets in my tank, however i topped up about 3L of water at night and the next morning i can only spot 3 shrimplets. So what is the adequate of water one can top up when they have shrimplets in the tank. Share your experience

if tank is 2x1x1, 3L consider very little liao, normally 20%-30% of total tank volume people would do. i think this is not the caused of shrimplets death.
so along this 6 mths u just top-up only huh, got do water change bo ?
or did u pour 3L one shot into the tank ? using tap water without de-chlorinator ?
shrimps r very sensitive to water condition change, shrimplet even more jialat.
i think read up the sticky will help u get the answer more faster. good luck bro !

What kind of shrimps do you keep? Some are very sensitive to temperature changes

i use the drip method when i top up the water, i did water change once a month but top up everyweek. I am using ocean free anti chlorine however when i pour the chlorine in, i saw blue blue staffs in it and it doesnt dissolve in the water.

i am keeping crs.

Is the cap of the ocean free anti chloride blue colour? If it is blue, then the blue blue stuffs could be from the disintegrated blue cap (Plastic material).

yap i mix with anti chlorine and leave it overnight before i top up the water using the drip method.
