Jennibird Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, just needing a little advice ... I have Blue Rili and Snowball Neocaridina. I just got the 10 Snowballs last Thurs, and I know at least 3-4 have died since, but now I can only see 3 at a time. Also, one of my blue rili died since adding the snowballs. I drip acclimated them and aside from 1 dieing the first 24hrs, they seemed fine. They seem happy until there's suddenly another dead one. 😔 Plenty of algae to graze on, temp 78, ph 7.5, kh between 120-180, gh about 180. What am I doing wrong? 😟 Edited December 23, 2020 by Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have never owned neocaridinia shrimp before, but what I can tell you is that the API Test Strips are very unacurate, I would go for the API Master Test Kit or the Tetra Test Strips.

That's what I was told on FB aquarium support. I just purchased one on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 When you said you just got them, I was reminded of the last thing I was going to get but decided against it, being December, and them being really temperature sensitive. I was going to get neocaridina pumpkin shrimp. Not sure if you ordered them or drove them from a store, but if your water conditions were good, I'd guess temperature shock. The 1 that you already had that died may have been effected by the other dead/dying shrimp in the tank. Hard to say though, as some of the strains are kinda sensitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
