The crystal color of the crystal shrimp is the same as that of the Japanese koi. Its red and white color has a very high ornamental value, so it has become more and more popular to raise crystal shrimp in the past two years. However, there are still many reasons for the death of crystal shrimp in the daily feeding process. We have found the following 7 main reasons.



 
1. Killing each other
This often happens when the density of the shrimp in the shrimp tank is too high. The object being attacked is often an individual who has just taken off the shell, because they have a slight astringency, which causes the same kind of attack. The prevention method is to plant more water plants and let the shrimps hide.



 
2. Frozen to death
Too low a water temperature will affect the activity of the crystal shrimp. It will withstand a temperature limit of 10 ° C. If it is below 10 ° C, it will die.



 
3. The attack of the planarian
The planarians in the shrimp tank pose a threat to the crystal shrimps. Ill shrimps or juveniles that are just born are often the targets of them.



 
4.Jumping out of the shrimp tank
It is recommended that the water level of the sink should not be too full, preferably about six centimeters above the cylinder edge.



 
5. Individuals with poor health
It is quite difficult to tell the health of the shrimp. The so-called unhealthy shrimp can be distinguished from the turbid body color and the slow swing of the tail.



 
6. Bacteria infection
There are many germs after a shrimp die. Remove dead shrimp from the aquarium as soon as possible to prevent other shrimps from getting infected.



 
7. Shock death
Frequent changes in water temperature and pH will cause crystal shrimps’ shock death. Therefore, changing water is not a sloppy thing!
