newbiefishgirl Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I tried to ask this question as part of one of my thread from yesterday, but I dont think that one is specific enough. Anyways, last night I did a 2 gallon water change and also got rid of some of the red algle by syphon. The two gallons I added back in were the same temp and salinty. When I got done my CB came out from his usually spot and moved to the other side of the tank that he never goes on and he was twitching a little and then clung to a rock on that side. Does this mean the water change disrupted him??? Is there anything I can do for him? Link to comment
palaegic Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Wouldn't be concerned Becky. In the case of a shrimp, its far more likely it would hide away completely if were very distressed. Having the correct temp and salinity are important, I would also recommend testing the pH of the new SW for a while until you are used to how it mixes up. pH swings can be as, if not more detrimental then a difference in SG or temp. You may find that your pH in the fresh SW is a bit higher than in your tank. Link to comment
newbiefishgirl Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Ok, thanks palaegic... is there anything I should look for if hes gonna be sick I would feel terrible if soemthing happen to him Link to comment
Toooloud Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Agreed, The shrimp could also be getting redy to Molt.. If this is the case he could disapear for a week or so.. or if he allready molted then he would hide as he has no hard shell so he is scared. Link to comment
