Peppermint Shrimp and Salinity problems

[jjrambo124]

Hey all,
So I recently did a water change that raised my salinity a from 1.019-1.022. I have this peppermint shrimp that molted just a few days before. Anyway 2 hours after the water change I find him on his back dead. I have a 25 gal with 2 clowns and a gramma. They look fine so far.
All my parameters are where they should be. I researched that sometimes they can be sensitive to salinity changes.
My big question is what now? Are there extremely hardy crustaceans out there that'll clean algae and detritus? Or do I stick with what I got.
thank you!

He may have just croaked and it was nothing you did any reason you run salt so low just wondering also did you temp match

What % of system volume did you change? Was Ph Matched? As per previous reply that's low salinity. Temp could also be a factor. Small tanks react to changes a lot more than larger systems....lack of buffer factors on many fronts.

Salinity should be kept stable I would say anything 1.023 upto 1.026 . Use a auto top up you can make a diy one work great . I have kept fish only at 1.019 . But for a reef as stated above. Water changes I mix my salt to the correct salinity and temperature don’t check for any thing else . I do a 10% water change weekly I have no skimmers . Test your water before water change to see what your tank has consumed in the week and dose if needed . Also get a salt that is close as possible to what you want your levels to be . Hope this helps . And your shrimp could of died of anything they don’t like big swing in salinity. This is omi
