Hi I have an emergency I'm super new and fucked up major I fed them banana. why cuz I didn't know better I guess? and the tank got really cloudy afew hours later so I did a partial water change and it was looking better then my shrimp started acting erratic and flailing and laying on their sides and backs pretty sure they're dying
I have moved them to a container with fresh brackish water and just a little of the old tank water. Please don't say anything negating mean I feel awful about this in literally in tears

Hi there, you will need to start over and clean all of your tank including everything in it.

Have the shrimp started to come back around in their clean water?

They have not unfortunately I think they're all gonna be a loss. Extremely valuable lesson learned I'm devastated. I'm cleaning everything thoroughly and resetting my tank and try again and absolutely nothing but spirulina if needed. I feel really bad for these poor shrimp that had to pay for my mistake and I definitely won't be doing anything like that again.

I actually did after I first posted someone else suggested that elsewhere so I did.
