水草情迷

sorry to hear that, I think your tank hasnt fully cycled yet. Fish is stronger comparing to shrimps. Try again after its been cycled, I killed many shrimps before I finally manage to keep them alive.

Blue EL and anyone.....,

what is your past experience, how many days to set up fully cycled?
wait, wait and wait.......
I like shrimp, please don't die again.., please!

Usually around 3-4 weeks to get it cycled. Do you have another cycled tank, if you do you can use some the good bacterias from gravels or filters and put it into the new tank. This will speed up the process abit. I say patience is the key. I learned it the hard way.

Buy some test kits(Ammonia, Nitrite and PH, and maybe Nitrate) so you will know if its cycled or not. You dont want to keep buying shrimps to test your tank.

yes, good ideal.

today, it is 21 days for my first tank.
i am so happy that almost pass to it cycled.

i think for me the most difficult thing to be a patience.

a thing to share,
before i mention the lady of "day x" in the fish street,
she told that
"life is short, you should buy all the fish from day one, no need wait."
ha, ha,business is business, I am not fully idiot.
other people be careful her......
