Fish And Shrimp Deaths

Unfortunately things aren't going well in my tank at the minute. ..

I've nearly lost all of my shrimp yet again.  One I found had a black back and was still attached to my plant. The others have simply disappeared.  From 6 I can now only count 2. I think my shrimp keeping days are officially over. 

I'm not massively surprised about the death of my shrimps since I've previously not had any luck with them, but concerning me is the death of two of my oldest endlers. One was symptom free until suddenly he couldn't control his swimming and was spinning around the tank. I assumed this was seek bladder so took him out briefly and put him in a pot so he could eat some peas. After that he swam normally but rested at the bottom frequently and died the next day.  Another endler kept going missing and I found him right at the top of the tank near the opening every time.  Yesterday he was almost stuck on my floating plant.  He again had no control of his swimming and died last night.  My other fish seem fine but I'm concerned there's something going on in my tank... Or again are they just old? These are all my original fish dying. I now only have my fish Scutter from the original batch

Has a list of shrimp lifespans, maybe it is just old age...

Sorry to hear it though Jesnon,  hope that helps on the shrimp front at least

Another of my fish that was fine before now seems to be dying :-(

Well things are still going badly.  Another of my older new fish has died.  I'm left with only 4 now, one of which isn't even supposed to be in my tank and another of which has a really ragged looking tail.  None of the other fish had this so I'm confused about where that has come from and whether it's disease or injury. 

I have one shrimp left now.  I suspect she's the same shrimp that survived the previous batch of shrimp.  She shall henceforth be known as Survivor

I'm concerned to say the least about my tank as next weekend I go on my 7 day holiday :-/

Originally I thought it was just old age but it's too suspicious it's happening at the same time! Really rubbish :-(

Lovely to see you back though was beginning to wonder what had happened to you!

I'm sorry to hear about your fish and shrimps. I don't really know what to suggest.

You don't use air fresheners or hairspray in the same room, or anything like that?

Do you live in a block of flats that shares the same communal water supply? It occurs to me it may be something to do with the water since this has only happened since you moved. Well, the endlers anyway. If you do have this type of water supply, do they add something to the water?

As you can see, I'm grasping at straws 

Not sure if you can see the 'bend' of the fish at the back?

That's the odd thing the spines show up when they suddenly become ill and then it is most noticeable once they've died.  I actually jumped the gun earlier and assumed the fish in the photo had died over night but he turned up again looking like that with a more noticeable bend which reminded me of two of the others that died. Surely it couldn't be genetic if they haven't always had it? Very strange.  Maybe I should get some interpret just in case

Thanks for that Rich. Hmm I guess it could be stress, though not sure what would cause that with my fish.  They are probably stressed now as there's only three fish as opposed to the 8 normally!

I added two new fish, shrimp and a snail a while back and one of the new fish died the day after but I would think it was too long a gap to be related.  I hope it's not TB anyway!

One of my fish has completely disappeared overnight and the poorly one died. Things are not looking good :-( my shrimp has disappeared too. 

Where is your tank in your place Jesnon? What's it near?

It's in my open plan lounge kitchen dining room on my coffee table next to the sofa. It's in a corner but relatively near my balcony door
