Shrimp Death

[alexbinge]

I have got my 40L tank and i have aproximatly 25 guppy fry in it and 6 babby shrim aproximatly 2.5cm. I have only had the shrimp 2 days and one has died.
I feed the fry a small amount 4 times day.Do you think the shrimp has died because off transportation from the pet shop or due to lack off food ?

It won't be from lack of food I can assure you. Shrimp can live off of almost nothing. It could have been from transport and shrimp are also very sensitive to ammonia and nitrite so if you have any levels of either, it can kill a shrimp.

ok ok thanks for the info im sure its not nitrates or anything like that because i test my water 2 times a week and it is always perfect so i ges it could be transportation .
