Hi guys I’m starting a new thread away from my journal as I’m getting desperate for help. My amano are dying off most are now gone my cherries are also dying yet my ottos and bamboo shrimp so far seem unaffected. The tank is a 750l low tec 50% water change once a week. The sick shrimp look odd you can see their organs photo below I’ve seen some white ones as well.
Things I’ve tried
· Stopped dosing TNC Carbon 2 weeks ago
· Lowered Ferts from 1/3 EI to ¼ EI week ago
· Increased surface agitation 3 weeks ago
· Increased food 3 weeks ago
· Checked water parameters regularly couple of photos below few weeks apart
Shrimp in my other tank seem OK catching the sick shrimp would prove challenging due to hiding places and the numbers of cherries
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated the tank was doing so well. I think adjusting ferts and TNC carbon has effected plant health as the plant leaf’s look a bit pale.Right now i just want to sort the shrimp. and over dosing EI has killed them for me in the past so I'm inclined not to change ferts
