Hi everyone!
Please I need some help!!! Yesterday I got 2 Ghost Shrimp and 4 Neon Tetras for my new tank and was ecstatic to see that one of the shrimp were carrying eggs. So I set up the tank and conditioned the water. I acclimated both the fish and shrimp for a good few hours before adding them to the tank which they energetically swam around. But when I woke up this morning the fish and shrimp were fine but the tank water was cloudy and there was white fluffy balls of algae floating around my tank. I was really worried about my new little creatures so I phoned the pet store that I got them at and they told me to put a drop of methylene blue in and so I did. But not even 5 minutes later the shrimp carrying eggs stopped moving and was just laying on the gravel. So I phoned the store again and they told me to warm up some of the water they came in a cup by letting it float in the tank and then put the shrimp in the cup with a bit of the tank water which I did BUT NOW the shrimp is turning a white colour and is still not moving and the tank water is still really cloudy.
Please can anyone help!!!!
