dead shrimp. :(((

[morningdewdrops]

Came home on Sunday to an almost total die out of my cherry shrimp in my nano tank! Poo.

Managed to save one shrimp though. Starting from scratch again now I guess. =O

[perplex]

wow that sucks, any idea why they all died?

[Matuva]

How long were you away?

[Squiggle]

Total bummer, so sorry to hear it. :(

[morningdewdrops]

No ideas! I wasn't away at all. They just died. Oh well! It was quite a small tank, so I thought maybe it was too hot, but it wasn't too warm on Sunday..

[morningdewdrops]

Thanks for the support though guys! Just needed to voice it out.

Bummer I'm out of choc cherries atm otherwise would have sent you some, assuming you are in Oz. Can't tell from using tapatalk.

[Matuva]

someone spray mosquito repellent around?

[morningdewdrops]

Thanks for the thought nogi!

No, but I didn't know they weren't good for shrimp! Learn something new everyday.

Thats sad to hear, I was gonna suggest an aerosol of sorts to. I bombed for cochroaches once and lots a tank of cherries and my crs. Worst sight ever watching them twitching piled up in a corner of the tank. Forgot to turn the air pumps off and didnt know how to cover the tank properly 

[morningdewdrops]

Oh poo. Did you tear everything down and just start again?

[Matuva]

In my opinion, If any doubts, the best is to clean everything and reset the tank.

[OzShrimp]

When i bombed for cockroaches and stuff i emptied the tank cleaned it and sold it lol i had the shits and was devastated. 

 

 

If you ever need to bomb or anything there are ways to do it and only takes up to an hour to prep. 

[morningdewdrops]

Ouch. Did you have to shut down everything and wash and restart?

[morningdewdrops]

Ah wait I skim read. I washed my tank. So I'm just thinking if I should start it in the same tank again. Sigh.

[Matuva]

Find some seachem stability bactery starter or Sera Bio Nitrivec, this will help you establishing your tank quick. You should be able to have a good balanced tank in a week saving time on cycling.

Thanks matuva! Will try that. Hopefully I'll be back in it soon!
