How about ur corals? They doing fine? Salinity, any swings? How new are are your shrimps and hermit crab?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

I did not test calcium . I do not have any corals in the tank . As it's a fowlr tank . Salinity has been constant too . The shrimp died was added and died in one day . The hermit was from my nano tank and I transferred to by cube tank . and it died 3 days later .

I think salinity and temperature are alao very important for invertebrates. Did you dose any copper into your tank before?

Nope I did not dose any copper ! It's kinda a quite a new tank too . As I will be keeping corals next time, I would not touch any copper ! And they my fish doesn't have ich too ! Tang and all are good ! Lucky me .

Doctor shrimp or aka cleaner shrimp need proper acclimatization. Next time try dipping your tank water into the bag of doctoe shrimp..then put the bag inside and let the shrimp come out itself.. doctor shrimp are super sensitive.they will die over night if not done properly.. try search for acclimate and you can find a few ways of doing it
