So yesterday my cleaner shrimp shed his exoskeleton....i removed it when i seen it. this morning....
I'm home now and my kenya is closed up and hunched over and my frogspawn is closing up as we speak.... somehow my ammonia went up....results are...
Salinity 1.025
8.8ph
.25 ppm ammonia
0 nitrite
5.0 nitrate
I havent done anything out of the usual recently, though 2 days ago i had it tested at the LFS and all they said was to add a capful of calcium to bring up that level...
is it possible that the shrimps exoskeleton added to my ammonia and nitrate levels?
Im doing a 20% change right this second, If you guys think I should do more let me know as I'm scooping out water as we speak.
