Ouch! So sorry for your loss!

I had the same experience once. I did a water change and all of a sudden my shrimp started acting strange. I immediately caught them and dumped them in the tank next to it - on which I also just did a water change with no problems. I was lucky, they survived.

Weekends and public holidays are not a good time to do water changes because as @MattLamm mentioned, they treat the plants on these days. As @mattie also mentioned, they are very sensitive to water conditions and it has to be pretty perfect.

Don't give up, they're very rewarding to keep, but I think it's going to be a while before we see them in the trade again. They'll be keeping an eye on the imports now.

If you're interested, I can pm you the number of someone in Hatfield that breeds them for a bit of extra cash. About R5 cheaper per shrimp that what you've paid.

Let me know.

Ps: I do smaller, daily changes on my tank, maybe give that a go next time.

Thanks.
Will check later on. Going to try to eradicate the snails in my tank. Just need to make 100% sure that there are no shrimp left in the tank.

Going to feel super poo if I kill one or two who made it trough this ordeal
