amcd58 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hey guys- I need some help with my 10 gallon shrimp tank. I started out with 6 blue rili shrimp that started thriving right away. Lately I noticed that there are a lot less in there. I have found two dead shrimp one with a brown spot. Multiple shrimps in my tank have a brown spot on their back. I have done some reading and think they have brown spot disease. I have not a treatment for this though. I have included a picture of a shrimp with the spot. I do bi weekly water changes. My water parameters are ph- 8.2 ammonia- 0 nitrite- 0 nitrate -5 gh and kh are both off the chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garren Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Sorry to hear that about your shrimp. Not for sure what the brown spots are for sure. But I can tell you the tank parameters are probably the cause of the deaths. The recommended tank parameters should be: pH: 6.8 - 7.5 KH: 0 - 10 dKH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
