I am using a 150 watt LED on the tank and had turned it down to half before I went downstairs, maybe that has something to do with it.. Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

By some odd stroke of luck I just went upstairs and counted 17 shrimp out and about. Got the test kit and have done everything but ammonia and all the results were good. Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

This post isn't about assigning blame, if there is blame then it is all on me. I am not asking for a refund and I am giving the seller a good review because the shrimp were both bigger and higher quality than I ordered. The reason for this post was to try and save the shrimp. I am currently waiting by the door for the tests to arrive. As soon as they show up I will post the results. Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk

Hello, I recently started cycling my first tank for Crystal red shrimp and I ordered all the supplies and set up the tank. When I ordered all the supplies I also ordered the 20 shrimp and in the shipping instructions I asked them to delay the shipment for a month. Two days later the tank stuff came and I set it up and started cycling. The next day the shrimp came. It seems as if they didn't pay attention to the shipping instructions and sent them ASAP. With no other options I put them in the tank and they seem to be doing good. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep them that way in a sparkling new tank? The TDS is high at 260 and the ph is 6.7 my test kit hasn't come in for ammonia, GH and KH yet so I don't know about that. The shrimp seem active, I started with 20 and I regularly see at least 10 out running around. The smaller ones are either hiding or dead, I am hoping for the former... The alder cones, Indian almond leaves, and driftwood are arriving today along with my full test kit. I am using Fluval shrimp stratum. I have Java moss and dwarf baby tears. I have mineral stones and Cholla wood in it. I am running a sponge filter hooked up to a Fluval 306 that is adjusted to half flow. The tank is a 30 gallon. I am running purigen, phosguard, and carbon in the canister filter.
