:help: i moved some java moss out of my shrimp tank into my baby cray tank. now i think there dying also. they do get feed the same food. kens vegetable with calcium sticks. :swear: i dont know what to do. some of the crays look ok but others are on there backs . some cant walk right. its all a mess. help
i moved them earlier. i can see some a missing legs and claws. will salt help. i have aquarium salt. or anything else.
Holy crap! Ok so I assume you haven't changed feeding schedule. Feed any fresh veggies lately and forget to rinse? Cold water could cause stress but it couldn't account for the original dead ones. Were the plecos harassing the shrimp at all? (doubt this as well but thought I would check)
You mention java moss, is this your moss? If not, is it a new purchase. If so, did you have any issues before adding the moss?
Before the 70% WC when was your last WC? Any parasites, planaria, etc? If they were larger shrimp could have been old age, but I doubt a # that high. I don't know what to say I am speachless...you lost all your RCS and your crays are showing symptoms?
Your water company make any changes recently?? Something important you should know about...
As for salt I guess it can't hurt, might damage your plants. Salt may help keep them from getting any infections.

i just got my new food from kensfishi lost over 70 rcs. .i moved the java moss from the shrimp tank to the baby cray tank. now there showing the same symptoms . but i moved them to a diff. tank. theyre still alive. most are missing lews and claws. theyre layin on there backs, waliking funny, kinda look like theyre drunk. i live in the country and use well water. before the water softener.i have no idea what might have been the problem. may the moss. but how.? my plecos are calm . and most of my shrimps were young. so many were saddled i couldnt wait and then i found them dead. im gonna wait awhile before i try shrimps again.
i keep ranshorn, mts, and briggs, and bn plecos. in in the tanks that the problems occured. there all fine. and eat the same food.
Ugh that is aweful 
I use ken's food as well and no problems so far. I'd hate to think it was the food. Unless they ate too much and popped! I can say I lost 3 shrimp in a 3 day period but I figured it was stress from being shipped or something. Sheesh I hope your crays pull through this sorry you had a bad experience with the dwarfs.
