fm1978 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Looking at your PFR it looks like it may have vorticella. You can see it right around the eyes. Oh dear, that would explain a lot. I've lost a few of them recently and I had no idea why. What can I do to avoid/combat this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Here you can see the small protozoans attached to one of my shrimps heads right between the eyes. They can form colonies and kill off your shrimp. I was able to get rid of my problem using fenbendazole. I hear the "salt dip" method works well too. It took awhile until they were all gone.

fm1978 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks for the nice comments, guys! Mayphly, thank you for the advice. I'll have a much closer look at my remaining PFRs as I wouldn't want to medicate if it wasn't completely necessary. Thank you again! mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like willow moss the thick form. Did you get from Han? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 These aren't from Han. However, this moss dwarfs the regular willow moss. This is a giant form of willow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hey mayphly, what are the red shrimp from your Aug 25 post? PFRs or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyd Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Here's one (and a lurker) blue velvet in my community tank. He grabbed the pellet and carried it back to their hiding spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwu Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Instead of this post, I was thinking maybe a section of the forum dedicated to pictures would be better.

countryboy12484 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think that a fine idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I like this thread because it offers more than just a chance for people to post their pictures. It helps to teach others how to take good pictures and offers advice on such things. A purely dedicated section for pictures would miss this element.

mayphly Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hey mayphly, what are the red shrimp from your Aug 25 post? PFRs or something else? Those red shrimp came from my blue diamonds. If I'm not mistaken I think that's where the bloody Mary's also came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well... That's what this thread was supposed to be about originally hence the title. Although I just noticed I put it under "Care,feeding and breeding". Duh!! However, most pic threads always turn out to be more than just pics. I always find pic threads inspiring and usually end up asking questions or commenting on them. I don't think most people mind if you post on their pic thread. By all means you should start one if you want to. "The World is Yours" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed all these pictures here but how about a subforum where people can start their own threads and of course others can comment and post their related (or not) pictures and what not?
