    One more thought. The age of the shrimp that die have been consistent in each wave, but not consistent with each other across waves. This time around, it was all “teenagers” one phase before adulthood.

    I’ll add that the only roommates are a BN Pleco, a half dozen Chili Rasporas (juveniles) and a half dozen Norman Lampeyes (also juveniles). I’ve ever seen any of the fish peck at the shrimp but in desperation of an answer I’d put money on the pleco.

    About once a month I lose a group of Neocardina shrimp and have not been able to pinpoint the source down. At first I thought it was planaria and treated my tank which is now free of those worms but the deaths are still happening. KH, GH, nitrate, nitrate, ammonia etc. are all exactly where they are supposed to be. Temperature is high 70s. Weekly water changes of 20% I know that copper is super poisonous to shrimp and wondered if the copper in these wafers I feed the Pleco in that tank, which they always feast on, could be the cause. It’s pretty far down the ingredient list but I have to figure out the cause. Thoughts?

    @Mridul Singh what temp was the water?

    Jesse at Denny’s Pet World just got some in for me after I requested. I may have some available shortly as well.

    For breeding they like it closer to 80° with lots of cave spaces available.

    Yeah, I’m doing water changes weekly at this point. Bloodworms every other day. Brine shrimp 1x a week.

    When I first got these two dwarf flag acaras, they colored up and laid eggs right away but the tank wasn’t ready for fry. Now I’m ready and they aren’t breeding anymore. Anyone have tips to encourage that other than having a flat stone surface for them? Pictures below of them in their “normal state” and some of them while they were guarding the nest. Amazing color change!
