Shrimps cuming to the top of tank?

Yo bros,last weekend something happened to my shrimp tank, the tank which i have for ard haf a yr,all my shrimps started to be at the top of the tank like wanting to climb out of the tank, immediately did a test on the water parameters,found out that kh n gh was very high n ph was also very soil,immediately i took out all my shrimps and put them in another tank.

setup another tank 2weeks ago to start the cycling first.did a test result also.

Result;
kh 4-6
gh 3-4
Ph 6.3
no 2 n no3 cant remember but its ok
ammonia 0
Lights are on 8hrs a day

thinking no prob i put in my snails to test the water,but in the end they still at the top of the water?

Any1 got encounter this prob? The last time i had this prob with my old tank i think oxygen not enough,but i use a air pump than the prob ceased liao this time round i also did the same ting but the snails still remains at the top

What shrimps are you keeping?
What is the dimension of your tank?(for both tanks)
What filter are you using? (for both tanks)
Did you use aged water?
Was your tank properly cycled? Need to ensure that Ammonia and Nitrite is 0 and some readings on Nitrate.
What soil are you using? (for both tanks)

i think is due to the tank ageing le ba.. too much poo and stuff in the gravel and nothing to break in nw in time can soon the water will turn bad..

as for the new tank, most prob is not fully cycled yet also.. also due to water.. shrimp very easy affected..
