Need more info. Are you giving the plankton enough light? What kind of water did you use to make the culture. Could the water have gotten contaminated? Does the bottle have enough aeration?

It could be that the plankton are getting to hot, too cold, or the light is not correct. I would use a standard florescent bulb like you would use in your house. Make sure the lights are not touching the bottles. Let us know if you got it fixed.
