Well, my third attempt at redtail fairyshrimp has ended the same way as the last two. All seems to be going well until suddenly the whole colony crashes! I've tried different temperatures, different light schedules, different feeding schedules, water changes... I'm at a loss. Has anyone else had this issue?
This last attempt was actually a surprise. I had used up all the sand from my fairyshrimp pack, and went on to add a pack of seedshrimp and daphnia to try instead. Adding the second pack seemed to wake up a ton of previously unhatched fairyshrimp. The weirdest part is that although the fairyshrimp colony crashed, the other shrimp colonies in the tank are fine! Bitter sweet and strange.
