Re: Dying CRS shrimp
The planaria must have come in on plants. It's very difficult with shrimp to get rid of them. If you have to treat plants then the copper treatments will kill the fish so you have to quarantine the plants for weeks after treatment with many water changes and running carbon to try and lower the amoun...

Re: Water treatment lowers pH?
