Hello,
long story short I have a 55g and I found a cleaner shrimp dead and under my choc. chip star. Now my question is would the star be able to kill the shrimp or did he just happen upon a meal? more to the question, this is the second shrimp that I have found dead in the last week. What is killing them, everything water wise is good other than I just did a water change and my salt was too high (I think) specific gravity meter (am I using the right tester)? read 1.024 I brought it down to 1.022 (is it still too high)? More bad news, I was reading Lion_crazz 101 and #? stated to never buy a tank if you think there has been copper in it... did not know anything about copper at the time, and I now think it at one time had copper in it. The tank has very blue silicon and I found copper treatment in the supplies from the guy that I bought the tank from. Im I just losing a battle from the get go by keeping this tanK? the only thing That I have lost are the shrimp. Thanks
