Maybe it’s time to give some feedback. I forgot the time I could see only 2 shrimps, since then the population has grown so much that I gave 30 of them a couple of months ago. Then again now I think the population went over 120 and I am giving again about 70 of them. Not sure why they died in the beginning, maybe they were quite old. They were fairly big! Or it was the planaria? I got rid of them and scuds. The second one was not easy. It was out of control so I emptied all the shrimp population from the tank and poured sparkling water for a couple of hours. Some scuds survived that! But eventually they disappeared in some weeks after manual removal each time I could see one. My only problem is that plants dont go well anymore. xmass moss, dwarf hair grass and anubia nana go very well but other plants progressively died. (Not suddenly) - Is it due to shrimp over population? - the sparkling water treatment ? - i can’t see other issue, i provide generous lighting, co, fertilizer (in soil and in water). I have a bit of algae but under control.
