I experienced something like this - in my nano tank, shrimps stopped becoming berried and seemed to die off, of natural causes, one by one until the colony had completely died off. Tried everything, raising KH, GH, mineral rocks, changed all the filters and cleaned the RO unit, new plants etc...

Well, I had some shrimp shipped over from America a few years back - all 25 of them survived for about 2 days in a fairly small bag, so I would have thought 2 hours will be fine. Make sure there's some moss or plant for them to cling to though.

Thanks Paul. I might try loaches - I can always re-home them in another tank afterwards. Do you think they would eat the snails being as they are so small? They're literally pin pricks some of them. Assassin snails are good - I have them in my nano, but I feel they wouldn't clear the problem...

Hi all Unbelievable, I've added Ramshorn snails to my new setup, despite my best efforts not to. I'm most unhappy to be honest - I despise the little critters. It's going to be a CRS breeding tank, so obviously I can't use chemicals. There is some good news - they're newly hatched, im pretty...

Cherry Shrimp should be fine in that setup once the Kribs are gone as they would probably eat the shrimp. I would advise getting fairly large once, since Serpae Tetras will nip them and possible eat them if they were small enough to fit in their mouths. You only need a few to start off-they...

Have you used any meds in the tank recently? Many contain copper, traces of which could still be lurking, and which may be causing problems.

Oh, forgot to add - shrimp and snails are extremely intolerant of Copper, which is a large additive in wormers, so you won't be able to add shrimps or snails at all if you are planning on worming them. I don't worm my Discus at all, and I don't have a problem.

I've kept a shoal of 6 Discus with Cherry shrimp no problems before, until I added another 3, and one seemed to recognise the cherry shrimp as a snack. Once he started, the others quickly cottoned on, so no more cherry shrimp there! I tried Amano's thinking they were bigger, but that didn't seem...
