Whenever I get Amano shrimp I invariably get a couple dying every day a few days after they're introduced to my tanks until only a few are left. Those few generally tend to live a long time afterwards, but at 1.50 apiece losing 15 shrimp isn't an attractive option.
Here's what I dose:
Grant's Stump Remover 100% KNO3
Fleet Enema
Epsom Salts
K2SO4 from Homegrown Hydroponics
Kent's Turbo Calcium- CaCl (was great with my SW shrimp)
Kent's Reef Iodine (1mL/75-90g with water change)
Seachem Flourish and Iron
50% weekly WC with tap water
Do any of you who have had more success with shrimp than I have see anything in there that may be a culprit? Do you use dechlorinator when you do WC? I really like shrimp and want to keep mine around as long as possible.
Thanks,
Phil
