Updates: Scuds took over my tank and started killing my shrimp. They demolished my beautiful plants. I went to war with them (all shrimp were removed into a hospital tank during the war) and carbon water bombed the tank for 2 weeks. Everything was great in my tank after that... Until today. The SCUDS ARE BACK! My plants have still been slowly disappearing and I had originally thought it was because they were so badly eaten before. Well, it's because not ALL of the scuds died. Plan B. I am going to NUKE the tank whole. I know this is gonna crash my tank and unfortunately, I think these scuds killed the last couple of shrimp I had left. (the female scuds get pregnant and begin to attack and eat everything. Saw it with my own eyes.) My husband is willing to help me get what I need to restart my shrimp tank properly for Christmas. So this time surely I will be good to go! Will come back here more to journal my process. I am super sad and frustrated right now. I probably will not go back to that LFS again.
