My water temp is ard 27-28.5 degrees (lights on and lights off).

Please help.
Make sure your plants have not insecticide in it. To test,when u buy a plant test with one cheap shrimp in a container, not ghost shrimp cos they are hardy. if die then the plant must not be use for shrimp tank. Note: The insecticide will not affect fish and will kill shrimps within 1 hours to a week. If you have new plant, just remove it and change least 80% of water. The faster way to save your shrimp is to remove it to another tank without new plant or worst no plant, the shrimp might be able to turn healthy again within 2 hours. Weak one will die. Sign of death, the shrimp is weak, cannot swim but can hold on to anything. Notice it will spin in the water. *Remember not to use snail killer medication in shrimp tank*. Most plant farm use. Haha
