Shrimp safe additives, advice please
#1
Merry Christmas everyone!
I recently set up a 48L freshwater tank. It has completed a fishless cycle. I added 9 Chilli Rasboras & 6 Celestial Pearl Danios & most recently, 5 cherry red shrimp. (one died)
I was alarmed to read that shrimp don't take kindly to stress coat, but they need dechlorinators etc. Is this true? I also read that you shouldn't add PH buffers, which I have, several times. Would this be the cause of death of a shrimp? Ph is 7.6 Temp 26 Ammonia & Nitrite O. I don't test for GH & KH.
I'm anxious not to kill anymore inhabitants ( a chilli leapt to its death on day one)
