Weird situation in my shrimp tank.

I think what he is trying to say is that the shrimps were attacked during molting, and he is asking whether there are enough hiding places.

Personally, i dont think that is really possible especially for the yamato which is much bigger than the rest, unless both shrimps were dying in the first place and the other shrimps just helped to kill them faster.

I feel sorry for ur shrimps. Day time room temperature is much higher than night. And aircon at night makes e water temperature drops further. The temperature variation is drastic... feels like e dessert, hot in the day, cold at night.

Yes it is indeed strange, as usually the weaker species are the CRS especially higher grade ones. Extreme temperature swings are definitely bad...even for humans .... but since they are in the same environment, no reason why cherries dying and CRS survive

My conclusion is that cherry is not tolerant to water that is too cold while crs is able to. ?

Yamato ALL DEAD.

The only CRS that use to test water died

All the rili, yellow and cherry and taiwan red are all kicking well!

WEIRD

Hmmm... I vaguely remember that I used to have cherries in pretty cold temperature water (due to chiller mal-operation), and they survived. It was the CRS that I had plenty of headache.
Since your CRS are thriving, then concentrate on CRS as it's usually more difficult to attain a good stable condition for them compared to cherries.
