juat wanna share my tank setup....using master soil , ugf and breeding sponge

So glad to hear a happy outcome, time to enjoy the peaceful aspect of shrimp keeping methinks!

Keep doin' what you're doin' !!

I honestly think doing one thing at a time is your best way to not just solve the problem but figure out it's cause. Considering even with minerals added you had a TDS of 119 going in something appears to bee pushing the TDS up, that's probably what I'd try to tackle first. If it's an old or secondhand filter it might be time to change out the medium (some noodles only last 6 months before starting to break down) My dad was having an issue where his CRS were dying off buy the YCS were still breeding, I did a test on his water and it was 1100TDS. Your tank is no where near that but I have to admit your symptoms sound similar. Another thing if you're using tapwater that may help is one of these:: http://www.bossaquaria.com.au/benibachi-zero/ Good luck :) Keen to hear how you go

Dropped yesterday and I have another one berried. Things are looking up
