I'm talking about the starfish, hermits, etc..
I bought two Peppermint shrimp today, a turbo snail, and 3 blue hermits.
This was not the first time I tryed with a peppermint shrimp. I did about 3 mos ago, and he died inside an hour. Ok my water might have been screwed..that one was more than likely in my ignorance somehow of not knowing things.
Now I have the tank going well, nitrates and nitrites are 0 and PH is 8.4 and my tank temp is 78.
The two shrimp died. One almost totally dead when I got home, but it looked healthy in his tank. Then the smaller juvenile one seemed ok, then he died in about an hour.
The hermits are doing wonderfully, oh yea I forgot about the sand Goby. He is doing really well.
Why do I always lose the shrimp if my paramaters seem correct?
My friend also got some freswater fish from there and 3 out of 6 died.
SO now I kind of wondering is it me that something isnt right in the tank for the shrimp, or could it possibly be the pet store. I'm lost on this one. And it gets aggravating seeming them die.
