Can I add 1 fresh water snail to my supershrimp tank? My tank is a half gallon and has 6 shrimp. Also- I want to add 20 more super shrimp, is this bad idea?

Hey all

I have a half gallon tank with 6 supershrimp

Curious if this stuff on the walls is normal, and should I clean it off?

Heres the pic

I used instant ocean marine salt, is there any quick fixes for the ph?

I just checked the PH and my 1/2 gallon tank is between 6 and 6.5

Ive seen something about adding baking soda, or crushed eggshells

This is the picture of the sacks, I thought they could have been larvae that was dropped

Im not sure why but another shrimp has died, I did remove the pellets before adding the shrimp to the tank.

Im not sure what do to in this situation but I feel more will die

guys! I am very sad to say there has been one shrimp death in my tank. I am not sure what to do or how to take it out because now there are these small brownish black sacks floating on the top of the water and if I try to scoop out the shrimp, I will mess with those sacks!!

help!!!

thanks guys that was super helpful!!!

they were super happy the first week and swimming around, they have lasted the weekend.

but now they are all missing! I can only see a couple at a time, are they hiding? some are going under the little rocks, or staying in the cave all day. is everything okay??

hi all! Super excited to have received my Supershrimp today! I ordered 10 for my 1/2 gallon tank. my tank has a plastic aquarium tree, some shiny floor rocks, and a ceramic planted pot that looks a lot like the lava rocks they like and has hole for hiding. Its really cute how they chill on the rock ...
