I mentioned this in my journal but I've lost 3 of 5 shrimp since Saturday afternoon.
1 never took to being introduced to the tank and was almost immediately lying on its side at the bottom of the tank. The remaining 4 then looked to be happy and active exploring the tank and feeding.
Lost the next one over night on Saturday so not sure if it was exhibiting any signs of distress and lost another through the night last night.
Generally the shrimp have seemed happy and moving freely around the tank.
I drip acclimatised over 2 hours from supplier water of 400 TDS to 250 TDS. Testing today and tank is at 168 TDS, pH 7.4 and is at 24.5 degrees Celsius.
Anyone have any ideas on what might have caused the losses? I've not done any water changes since introducing the shrimp and have dosed EI ferts on alternate days 10ml.
