Re: [GSAS-Member] Phil's shrimp

It is NOT just you Matt; I have the same problem.  Small container, big 
container, doesnt seem to matter with me.  I have always dumped them into a 
well-planted *thing*, either container or actual tank, and they do slowly die 
off for me too, even when in a container all by themselves.  I am suspicious my 
problem is a lack of O2 in the water; the containers I have tried so far have 
not had any aeration/filtration in them.

 

I always worry about feeding them too much too... from what I have read in this 
thread though I may have not been feeding them enough.
