I had recently got hold of some Lamp. Brevis shell dwellers (thought I'd got two but actaully had three!). I had them in the tank for a good three days now. To say they where timid would be an understatement, slightest movement and they are back in their shells. BTW each has their own shell now.
I'm not convinced that they are eating either, i've read that they will accept most foods, but like brine shrimp the most. Does anyone have any further info on this? Any method of encouraging them out? favourite foods?
Secondly, my ammonia levels have risen dramatically to around 2.0-3.0ppm, with Nitrite at about 0.25ppm. I've been using AmmoLock to try and detox this, and last night did a 50% water change. I've not seen the third fish for a whild but see above, so I can't confirm if he/she is alive or not.
The tank is well planted with a mix of sand and gravel. Lots of shells. Ph is around 7.6, GH is about 15. Filtration is good with an Interpet TF2 all in one pump, heater and filter. Temp. is about 26c/79f.
Bit worried , what should i do? All advice welcome.
