Since moving to my sisters I have lost all of my shrimp (more than I could count even during the move) and all of my Malaysian Trumpet snails.
However my apple snails and all my fish are fine :?
The only thing which has changed with the move is the water as she's with a different supplier. There are no strange air fresheners in the room and the tank is covered. Her bloke does occasionally use furniture polish but we all try our best to hide it from him as we don't like the smell.
The apple snails are showing a bit more pitting than usual so I suspect lower levels of calcium or lower pH (8.4 -> 7.2ish) and I've been dosing with snail strong since I moved in an attempt to compensate.
So could it be the snail strong? Unlikely since it's designed for use in tropical aquaria.
The only other thing I can think of is a co2 overdose, the apple snails have lungs so could have made it to the surface to breathe and the fish can all gulp if they need to...
What else could I have done to manage to kill off an entire population of the indestructible MTS and all my shrimps!
