shrimp tank failed

11-01-2011, 10:26 PM

hi,

I have just started a new shrimp tank but the red cherry shrimp in it kept dying. I did put in BT-9 to make sure any nitrate, NH3 level is low. Plus the tank is new and was cycled for a week. Its a small 20l nano-tank.

Anyone has any idea why?

Hi. Please provide more details like gravel that you used. Any filter? Did you test the water parameters? Temperature of the tank etc?
