just wondering if my tank is good enough it a 10g tank with whisper 10 filter and air stone i block the in let with a sponge so shrimp wont get stuck in. the water paramenters are ammo-0 - nitirite- o nitrate - 5 temp- 78 ph- 8 but my shrimp keep dying dont know y just few left
 
pH is on the high side - I don't know if that's a certain cause of losses.

Additional considerations: What do you have for them to eat, any live plants for them to hide in, any idea of your water's GH or KH?

last time i check is Gh-7 Kh-1 and i got xmas moss and some java moss
 
All of my shrimp are in 10g tanks with sponge filters.
ADA soil keeps my PH around 6.5 - 7.0 (my tap is 7.8)
Temps around 72-75

how long has your tank been set up for?
i feed my rcs flake food too. they seem to like it better.
your parameters are almost identical to mine and they breed like crazy.
