sad to hear about your bad news..

I know my recent 'loss' is nothing compared to the loss of the thread owner. Nonethessless, a shrimp life loss is a loss... I can totally appreciate the pain.

Think I made the same mistake...
 

Oh on, I tink I may have committed the exact same mistake as the TS, i.e. introduction of new plant without quarantine. I just bought a small piece of driftwood with some plants attached (as well as 10 extra CRS). I did wash the plant as well as the piece of wood thoroughly. But after introducing it to my existing tank (2-day old tank, which contains 5 existing Sakuras), 2 of my Sakuras & 1 of my CRS begin to exhibit the twitching-then-drifting pattern!

Damn sad to cause the loss of lives due to ignorance...:(

I have the same experienced too, when feeding my shrimps with spinach that contaminated by pesticide....

so sad, to hear that....:mad:

Last few times I didnt rinse the plants, in the end... kanna planaria.... haizzz

are snails bad for the shrimps? I was having the impression that they could peacefully live with each other..

I also did the stupid thing

How to u all restart it again?? I had wc about 30 percent three times, however I still can sense my shrimp is not active in eating or swimming.. How?? What is the step ?? Pls help

Will soaking new plants or dw or rock in potassium permanganate help remove pesticide?

Also there are a "soap" available in market that's is use to rinse vegetable so that it is free from pesticide and safe for consumption. Will they help?
