countryboy12484 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 well they were blue bolts. woke up yesterday morning to them both being dead. not happy only had them 3 days. the other tb in the tank are fine. i think im done with shrimp for a while ive lose $100+ in shrimp this year between 2 blue bolts, a wine red, a ruby red, and 6 orange rili. will be quite a while before i add to my tank again.i know how you feel wicca ive lost a panda and a shadow panda in the last mont... It sucks to do everything right and loose such a costly investment.. Im kinda frustrated with my tanks.. Nothing turns out the way i want and ive spent thousands this year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpie Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 It can be frustrating. We try so hard to create an artificial environment for these little guys. Sometimes it seems to work for no reason and other times - well, it seems like no matter what we do and how hard we try to work for them - it just doesn't work for them. I hate losing shrimpies. I love creating a healthy home for them and I love watching them. The new tank I have set up and waiting for it to finish cycling - I feel like I have done everything I can to do it right for the critters. But I really won't know until I get to add the shrimps. countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayphly Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sorry to hear about your guys losses. I know how devastating it is. I lost my first batch of tb back in January because I thought it would be a good idea to raise them in an algae infested tank. Boy! Was that a mistake.. Wicca, any idea what happened?

Shrimpie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Do you think any shrimps would want to live here? I sure hope so. Maybe a couple more weeks and the tank will be cycled. Pika and woopderson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
