I just bought 6 neo shrimp (3 red cherry, 3 orange ones). By the time I got home (20 minute drive) the orange ones were still swimming around like crazy but the red ones weren’t really moving around at all. I floated their bags in the tank for around 50-60 minutes then put them in separate small buckets and have been adding a few drips of water from my tank every 3 minutes for the last half hour. The orange ones raw still swimming all over the place, but the red ones just sit in one spot. Should I still continue to acclimate them and add them to the tank, or is there a risk to the orange ones (that seem fine?). I’ve never had shrimp before so I don’t really know what’s normal. I’m sure they’re super stressed. The guy at the store seemed to j spect then all very carefully and he put one back because he said it didn’t look great. It’s a store that only sells shrimp, so I’m sure he has some idea what he is doing?
Tank parameters
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: ~10
pH: 7.4
I don’t know the hardness, but the guy at the store said if it was tap water and I’m getting neos, and don’t have any of certain types of rocks in my tank they should be within normal parameters.
I have 2 moss balls, Christmas miss, and anubias,
