1. Overstocking
2. High Water Temperature

5. Chemicals and Medications
6. Aquatic Plants
7. Driftwood and Biofilm

Emergency – Low Oxygen in the Shrimp Farming. What to Do?
Start by changing a large volume of the water— replace about 50%, and the oxygen level would be given a boost instantly.
Afterward, increase the water movement by adding a powerhead, spray bar, or air stones, this will break surface tension and promote gaseous exchange in the aquarium.
Another good idea is to replace the current filter with a bigger model or install an additional filter for more aeration. At this juncture, you have succeeded in oxygenating shrimp farming and saving the life of your shrimps, you can now tackle the main cause of the problem permanently to forestall future occurrences.

You must research the exact needs of your pet species; most freshwater crustaceans live in cool, oxygenated water. Warm tank water causes crustaceans to grow faster and molt more quickly, which may shorten their lifespan. Freshwater shrimp usually do not require heating and usually thrive at temperatures between 66 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The tank's filter may add enough dissolved oxygen to keep the shrimp happy, but if you feel the need to add more, you'll need to use a micro porous air diffusion stone.
