cherry red shrimp magically vanishing..

You could also start adding some Beta glucan to your tank to help fight any infections, I use Mosura Tonic Pro which is also a food supplement, It's a little bit on the pricey side but worth it. IMO

Or you could try beta-G which has some good reports.

Excellent thanks!

Yeah very sure.. I mentioned earlier in the post that I watched one turn pink and die the turn white when it saw dead. They turn white when dead just like fish tend to do.. Really unsure, it's not my lighting, it's not my, water meters and it's,not my tap water or Fertz so it must be my substrate?

Sorry i must have missed the post where you said that they turned pink!

How long have you had the tank setup, they don't really like newish tanks!

Cherry's are really hardy, they don't need heaters, mine survive and breed even at 15 deg.

Try one of the products the others have mentioned for bacteria problems, but i'm not convinced

Have you phisically removed the dead shrimp or can you just not find them?

Some I remove, others I cannot find. The tank is 6-7 weeks old
