Hi all.
I have a small quarantine tank (3.5 gall) that I have used to transfer my Red Cherry Shrimp from my main tank to grow them on a bit.
I have had good success with 4-5 females with eggs that I have placed in the tank, looked after and released their babies.(put female straight back into main tank)
Had about 30-40 young shrimp at different ages and sizes all doing well feeding and growing.
All of a sudden they have all started to die cant understand it, the shrimp are dying at different stages of life some small some older bigger shrimp.
Nothing has changed apart from putting a new tube heater (glass thermostatic 50w).
Have 1 female I have just put in and about 1/3 left...!
All water levels are normal and filter working fine not clogged or to clean tank fully cycled, water changes are done as normal.
ANY IDEAS--- COS I AM TOTALLY AT A LOSS.
PLEASE HELP
Regards
