I'm thoroughly confused here. So I bought some cherry shrimp and they've just started dying off to the point I've lost 5 of the 15 I bought (those are just the ones I found). I checked my water levels and the only thing that seems off is my pH is around 8.0, even though I use distilled water and salty shrimp. I'm just confused as to what the hell could be going on. I noticed one of my shrimp had this weird thing on him.
