Too long; didn't read: I lost both a peppermint shrimp and a fire shrimp after using hydrogen peroxide spot treatment to get rid of a bad dinoflagellate outbreak in separate incidents. Both died during the night after treatment. Others have reported similar incidents. Don't use hydrogen peroxide...
I attached a pic of my dead fire shrimp.
I have no idea why he died so I'm hoping you guys can help me.
I bought a fire shrimp yesterday morning (its been about 30 hours). I drip acclimated and then drop him into my 37 gallon tank. He lived with bowtie damsel, 2 clown fish, 6 snails. I woke up...
I’m devastated. We were so excited we just got a brand new fire shrimp for our small nano tank. We have a pistol shrimp and my concern was if they would get along. Never even thought to ask my LFS if my snail would be a murderer!!

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a 32g biocube with about 30lb Of live rock. We bought a fire shrimp a couple weeks ago and he was very peaceful and content. Four days ago we went to LFS and he told us if we get another fire shrimp they will be more active as a pair and come out more often. We bought...
So 6 days ago I bought a blood red fire shrimp, acclimated it for 90 minutes and added it to my display (I didn't QT as it had been at my LFS for a month showing no problems and was eating well) Its eating when I feed the tank and found itself a cave that it never strays a inch from. Does anyone...
