They need good tank stability and WP. Post up more details like TDS, GH, and anything you've done, like water changes, additives, feeding regime etc.... You must have a good eye to notice dead 2 day old shrimplets.

Bad luck mate, it happens with TB's, it will get easier with these guys, just gotta work out why? I find Michling x TB babies are stronger.

That sucks, all you can do is try and improve the water quality and wait for the next batch. Good luck

The first 3 weeks of a tb shrimplet is the hardest. If they can survive past the first 3 weeks then they have a 90% survival rate to make it to adultbhood. Most breeders will experience this and those who continue will learn from there mistake and have good success.

Thanks guys

the KK shrimplet is easier to spot because it have blue body ,usually CRS shrimplet is clear body in first week

and i know it's weak because it's KK x KK ,not KK x misling .so may be just natural too weak from the pure blood line

My WP are follow

Rain water plus shrimp mineral ,benibachi soil

chiller Temp :24

PH 6.8

GH 1

KH 1

TDS 150

No3 0-5 (test paper)

No2 0-5(test paper)

Ammonia N/A

EC :N/A

no water change , just top up

i have put a air stone in the tank ,but do you think the oxygenator is needed ?

For TB's, why not. Food is critical for shrimplets. If you think your KK's are week, then by continually introducing new lines, would strengthen them up well.... no reason if this is done that your KK x KK should have a low shrimplet survival rate. Can you post a pic of your entire tank...easier to comment if the setup is seen too.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now
